Question

A washer and a dryer cost $744 combined, the washer costs $94 more than the dryer, what is the cost of the dryer?

Answer 1

Answer:

$ 325

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of washer be ' x '

Let the cost of dryer be ' y '

According to Question,

x + y = 744 -----> equation (i)

x - y = 94 ------> equation (ii)

Adding equation (i) and (ii),

x + y = 744

+ x - y = 94

---------------------

2x = 838

Dividing both sides of the equation by 2

2x/2 = 838/2

Calculate

X = 419

Again,

Putting the value of X in equation (i)

X + y = 744

419 + y = 744

subtract 419 on both sides

y + 419 - 419 = 744 - 419

Calculate:

y = 325

The cost of dryer is $ 325.

Hope this helps...

Good luck on your assignment...

Answer 2

Answer: 325$

Explanation:
Assume: A is the cost of washer
And B is the cost of dryer

A+B = 744
And: A = B + 94$
We get:

B + 94$ + B = 744
2B + 94 = 744
2B = 650
B = 325
