Answer:

318+954

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 1272 by 2 to get what they would cost if they were the same amount then divide that by 2 to get 318 times that by 3 to get 954 and add 318 to get 1272

The couch would be $848 and the coffee table is $424.

Since the couch cost twice as much as the coffee table you would take 1272 and divide it by 3. Making it $424. If you multiply 424 by 2 it gives you $848 and adding the $424 will give you $1272. The other answer is wrong. You don’t divide by two.
