The total cost for a chair, a desk, and a lamp is $562. The desk costs four times as much as the lamp and the chair costs $23 less than the desk. Find the cost of each item.

Ok I’m giving a educated guess here so $562 divided by 3 is 187.3 then you do 187.3-23 which would be 164.3 so if I’m correct it would be 164.3 for both the chair and the lamp and 187.3 for the desk also just a heads up the .3 would be .333333.... :) I will delete if I’m wrong
