Question

A washer and dryer cost a total of $1280. The cost of the washer is three times the cost of the dryer. Find the cost of each item. Cost of washer: $ Cost of dryer: $

Answer 1

Dryer = 320

Washer = 960

Explanation:

Washer + Dryer = 1280

Let,

Dryer = x

Washer = 3x

3x + x = 1280

4x = 1280

x = 320

Washer = 3x = 3(320)=960

960 + 320 = 1280

Thus,

Dryer = 320

Washer = 960
