Question

the total cost of 3 tables and 2 chairs is rupees 1850. if a table costs rupees 75 more than a chair, find the price of each

Answer 1

Hi....!!

Let's solve it.....

Cost of a chair = x
Cost of a table = x+75

The total price paid = 1850
x+x+x+75+x+75+x+75=1850
5x+225=1850
5x= 1850-225
5x = 1625
x =1625/5
x = 325

Cost of chair = x = 325rs
Cost of table = x+75 = 400rs

Hope this helps....!!

Answer 2

Let the table = x+75
Let the chair = x
from the equation we can know that
     3(x+75)+2x = 1850
      3x + 225 + 2x = 1850
      5x = 1850 - 225
       5x = 1625
        x =   1625/5
         x = 325 ⇒ chair = 325, table = x + 75
                                               table = 325 + 75
                                                         =  400 r.s
