Question

The total cost of a cap and a sunglasses is Rs 1,250. If the cost of the sunglasses is Rs 250 more than the cost of the cap, find the cost of each of these two items.​

Answer 1

each sun glass costs Rs 750 and cap Rs 500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of cap be c and sunglasses be s

Equations:

• c + s ➡ Rs 1,250

• c + (250 + c) ➡ Rs 1,250

solve for cost of cap:

c + (250 + c) ➡ Rs 1,250

2c + 250 ➡ Rs 1,250

2c ➡ Rs 1,000

c ➡ Rs 500

solve for cost of sun glass:

s = 250 + c

s = 250 + 500

s = Rs 750
