Question

the total cost of 3 tables & 2 chairs is rs 1850 ...if a table RS 75 more than a chair ,find the price of each ?

Answer 1

• We have the enunciation, now we can solve.
♦ We note :
- t, the price of the table;
-c, the price of a chair:

3t+2c=1850   } 
t=c+75          }  =>

=> 3(c+75) +2c=1850
3c+225+2c=1850
5c=1850-225
5c=1625
c=1625:5
c=341=> t=341+75 = 476 .
