Question

A garden table and a bench cost $621 combined. The garden table costs $79 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

$389.5

Explanation:

621/2 = 310.5 assuming they're equal therefore, it is stated that the table cost cost 79 less than the bench so we substract.

310.5 - 79 = 231.5

This is the cost of garden table, lets find the bench now.

621(both table and bench)-231.5(garden table)= 389.5 is the cost of the bench.
