A teacher wanted to buy a chair, a bookshelf, two tables and a desk. She spent $900 for all five items and the chair and the des
k combined 70% of her total. If the bookshelf cost $50, how much did each of the tables cost?
1 answer:
Find the cost of the chair and desk by multiplying the total amount pent by the 70%
Chair and desk = 900 x 0.70 = $60
Subtract that cost from the total spent:
900 - 630 = $270 was spent on the other three items.
Subtract the cost of the bookshelf:
270 - 50 = 220
The two tables cost 220.
For the price of one table divide that cost by 2:
220/2 = 110
One table cost $110.
