Ahmed wants to buy one of two skateboards. One skateboard costs $1 more than the

other. The sum of their costs is $145. How much does each skateboard cos

Answer 1

1 skateboard will cost $73 and the other will cost $72

Explanation:

Skateboard A (Original) = X

Skateboard B (+$1) = X + 1

Solving for X

(x + 1) + x = 145

2x + 1 - 1 = 145 - 1

2x = 144

2/2 = x

144/2 = 72

x = 72
