Question

A washer and a dryer cost $995 combined. The washer cost $45 more than the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?​

Answer 1

When a washer and a dryer cost $995 combined. If  the washer cost $45 more than the dryer, then the cost of the dryer is $475

The combined cost of a washer and a dryer = $995

Consider the cost of a dryer as x

The washer cost $45 more than the dryer.

The cost of the washer = x+45

Then the equation will be

x+x+45 = 995

2x+45 = 995

2x = 950

x = 950/2

x = 475

The cost of the dryer is $475

Hence, when a washer and a dryer cost $995 combined. If  the washer cost $45 more than the dryer, then the cost of the dryer is $475
