Question

Two pieces of equipment were purchased for a total of $2000. If one piece cost $810 more than the other, find the price of the less expensive piece of equipment.

Answer 1

595.

Explanation:

Take $2000 and subtract $810 from it. You now have the total of the two pieces of equipment without the extra pricing. You should get $1,190. Then divide that number by 2. You will get $595.

1st Piece of Equipment = $595

2nd Piece of Equipment = $1,405

2nd Piece is $810 more expensive and the two pieces combined is $2,000.
