price of computer system: $1320

price of the software : $440

Given :

  • Total cost for which the computer and software got sold : $1760

To find :

  • Price of the computer system and that of the software

Solution :

Given that,

  • The price of computer system is thrice as of the software

Let the price of the software be x and that of the computer system be 3x

Then,

ATQ,

  • x+3x = $1760
  • 4x = $1760
  • x = $1760/4
  • x = $440

Therefore, the price of the software is $440.

and that of the computer system would be

  • 3x = 3*$440
  • 3x = $1320

Henceforth,the price of the computer system is $1320.
