Question

A garden table and a bench cost $987 combined. The garden table costs $87 more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?​

Answer 1

$450

Explanation:

let the price of the bench = x

Then, the price of the table is x + 87.

x + x + 87 = 987

2x + 87 = 987

2x = 900

x = 450

Answer: $450
