Answer:

$1.25 & $10.25

Explanation:

Let c be the cost of renting one chair and t be the cost of renting table. We're given two equations:

#1. 5c + 3t = 37

#2. 2c + 6t =64

We have a system of equations. Using our system of equations calculator, we can solve this problem any of 3 ways below:

  • Chairs (c) cost $1.25
  • Tables (t) cost $10.25
