Answer:

t = 2,250

Explanation:

If the cost of a chair is Rs. 1400 and the cost of 4 tables and 5 chairs is RS. 16000, find the cost of a table.​

4t + 5c = 16,000 when c = 1,400

4t + 5(1,400) = 16,000

4t + 7,000 = 16,000

subtract 7,000 from both sides:

4t + 7,000 - 7,000 = 16,000 - 7,000

4t = 9,000

divide both sides by 4:

4t/4 = 9,000/4

t = 2,250
