Question

A party rental company chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $105. The total cost to read 5 chairs in 3 tables this $33. What is the cost to rent each chair and each table?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2c+12t=105, and 5c+3t=33, subtracting 4 times the second from the first gives you

2c+12t-20c-12t=105-132

-18c=-27 dividing each side by -18

c=1.5, making 2c+12t=105 become

2(1.5)+12t=105

12t=102

t=8.5

So each chair costs $1.50 and each table costs $8.50
