Which system of equations can be used to find the price ach piece of furniture? . SS=C + 900 S + C = 1200 SS=C-900 S-C = 1200 SS=C-900 S + C = 1200 SS=C-1200 S-C = 900

Answer 1

Given:

Price of sofa is $900 more than price of a chair.

Total price of sofa and chair = $1200

Let S represent sofa

Let C represent chair.

We have the following:

Equation for total price: S + C = 1200

Equation given Price of sofa is $900 more than price of a chair: S = C + 900

Therefore, the system of equations that can be used to find the piece of each furniture are:

S = C + 900

S + C = 1200

ANSWER:

S = C + 900

S + C = 1200
