The cost of each campstools, tent and sleeping bag is $20, $100 and $26

let

tent = 1

sleeping bags = 2

campstools = 3

Total cost = $212

tent = t

sleeping bags = s

campstools = c

If

t = 5c

s = c + 6

Total = t + 2s + 3c

212 = 5c + 2(c + 6) + 3c

212 = 5c + 2c + 12 + 3c

212 = 10c + 12

212 - 12 = 10c

200 = 10c

c = 200/10

c = 20

t = 5c

= 5 × 20

= 100

s = c + 6

= 20 + 6

= 26

Therefore, the cost of each campstools, tent and sleeping bag is $20, $100 and $26
