Question

A couch, a love seat, and a chair cost $1565. The couch costs twice as much as the chair, and the live seat costs $400 more than the couch. Find the cost of the love seat, the couch, and the chair.

Answer 1

Couch: 2x
love seat: 2x+400
chair: x
total amount: $1565
2x+2x+400+x=1565
5x+400=1565
5x=1165
x= 233
The cost of the chair is $233. The cost of the couch is $466. The cost of the love seat is $866.

Hope this helps!
