Question

A garden table and bench Cost $863 combined. The garden table cost $37 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

To find:

The cost of the bench.

Solution:

Let the cost of the bench be x. So, the cost of garden table will be (x - 37).

Given that the combined cost is 863. So,

`\begin{gathered} x+x-37=863 \\ 2x-37=863 \\ 2x=900 \\ x=450 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the cost of the bench is $450.
