Question

A garden table and a bench cost 581

combined. The garden table costs 69
less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

The answer will be $325! I didn’t get it at first... but then I got it!! Best of Luck at school!!

Answer 2

If we let the cost of the garden table be G, and the cost of a bench be B, we can set up a system of equations that follows:
G + B = 581
G = B - 69
We can substitute: B - 69 + B =581, 2B = 650, and we get B = 325. Thus, the cost of the bench is $325.
