Question

Tom saw a beautiful painting of Mount Everest.
When he asked the cost, the dealer said, You can
have the painting with the frame for 225 or I can put
it in another frame half the value of this one and then
you'll have to pay only 175.
How much will Tom have to pay if he wants only the
painting​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=225

x+y/2=175

x+y=225

2x+y=350(multiplying with 2)

-x=-125(equating)

x=125
