Answer:
The equipment will cost $1740.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the Cost of equipment, furniture and decoration be x, y and z.
Now, According to question,
x + y + z = 3600 ...... (1) (cost of all items)
x = 500 + y (∵ equipment cost 500 more than furniture)
and y = 2z ( ∵ furniture twice as much as decoration)
so, z = y/2
Now substituting the value of x and z in eq (1)
So, the cost of furniture (y) = 1240
∴ Cost of equipment = y + 500 = 1240 + 500 = 1740
Therefore the cost of equipment was $1740.
