Question

the total price of 18 horses and 15 cows is Rs.1275. If the price of each cow is Rs.25,find the price of each horses.

Answer 1

Total price = 1275

Price of each cow = 25

Price of 15 cows = 15×25 = 375

Now price of 18 horses = 1275 -375 =900

So price of each horse = 900/18 = Rs50

Answer 2

Answer:

Rs.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of each horse be = x

Let the price of each cow be = y = Rs. 25 (here)

Total amount = Rs. 1275

No. of cows= 15

No. of horses= 18

Hence,

(18*x) + (15*y)= 1275

(18*x) + (15*25)= 1275

18x + 375= 1275

18x = 1275-375

∴ x = Rs. 50
