Question

A table and four identical chairs cost
$865. If the table cost %589, how much was each chair?

Answer 1

$69

Given :

• Total cost = $865
• Table cost = $589

To find :

• Cost of each chair

Solution:

we know that,

• Cost of 4 chairs + cost of the table = $865
• Cost of 4 chairs +$589 = $865
• Cost of 4 chairs = $865-$589
• Cost of 4 chairs= $276

Let the cost of one chair be x .

Then,

• 4x = $276
• x = $276/4
• x = $69

Therefore,the cost of each chair was $69.

Answer 2

Repuesta

Vamos a suponer que el costo de cada silla es de "C" dólares. Dado que hay cuatro sillas idénticas, el costo total de las sillas sería de 4C dólares.

Dado que la mesa cuesta $589 y el costo total de la mesa y las sillas es de $865, podemos establecer la ecuación:

Costo de la mesa + Costo de las sillas = Costo total

$589 + 4C = $865

Ahora, resolvamos para "C":

4C = $865 - $589

4C = $276

C = $276 / 4

C = $69

Por lo tanto, cada silla cuesta $69.
