Question

A garden table and a bench cost $958 combined. The garden table costs $58 more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

450 dollars

Explanation:

Lets say the bench is x dollars.

So the garden table would be x+58 dollars.

So total: x+x+58=958

2x+58=958

Subtract 58: 2x=900

Divide 2: x=450
