Question

A garden table and a bench cost 725 combineThe garden table cost 75 more than the bench what is the cost of the bench

Answer 1

The cost of bench is 325.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Combined cost of table and bench = 725

Let,

x be the cost of garden table

y be the cost of bench

According to given statement;

x+y=725         Eqn 1

x = y+75         Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

$(y+75)+y=725\\y+75+y=725\\2y=725-75\\2y=650$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{650}{2}\\y=325$

The cost of bench is 325.
