Answer 1

$372 for all tables, $62 per table

Answer 2

$62.00

Explanation:

A school administrator bought 6 desk sets that consists of one table and one chair.

He paid for each chair = $48.50

Cost of all 6 chairs = 48.50 × 6 = $291.00

He paid total for the 6 sets = $663.00

To get cost of 6 tables we subtract cost of 6 chairs from total payment of 6 desk sets.

Cost of all 6 tables = $663 - $291 = $372.00

Therefore, cost of each table = $372 ÷ 6 = $62.00

The cost of each table is $62.00
