Question

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

Answer 1

 Let the table= x + 75

Let the chair = x

From the question we can write

3(x+75) + 2x = 1850

3x + 225 + 2x = 1850

5x = 1850 - 225

5x = 1625

x = 1625 / 5 = 325

Chair = 325

Table = 325 + 75 = 400
