Question

a salesperson sold a computer system and software for $1760 receiving three times as much money for the computer system as for the software. find the price of each

Answer 1

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.
