Question

A waher and a dryer cot $784 combined. The waher cot $84 more than the dryer. What i the cot of the dryer?

Answer 1

The cost of the dryer would be 350. We can solve this question by using the linear equation concept.

Let the cost of the dryer be “x”

Therefore, the cost of washer would be “ (x+87) “

So, According to the question, both washer and dryer would cost :

(x) + (x+87) = 787

2x + 87 = 787

2x = 787-87

2x = 700

x = 700/2

x = 350.

So, the cost of dryer is 350.

Cost of washer can be calculated as follows :

x + 87

put the value of x

350 + 87

= 437.

So the cost of washer is 437.

And together they cost 787.
