Answer: Boat cost $ 3200
Trailer cost $ 800
Step-by-step explanation: From the statement , the coat of Trailer (t) = 1/4 of the coat of the boat ( b)
i.e t = 1/4b
multiply through by 4
4t = b
both cost 4,000
i.e t + b = 4000
recall: b = 4t
therefore
t + 4t = 4000
5t = 4000
t = 4000/5
t = 800
b = 4000 - 800
b = 3200
