Answer:

$221

Explanation:

Hello!

The total cost s $627.83, for one desk that costs $185.83, and two identical chairs (c).

The equation: $185.83 + 2c = $627.83

This equation represents the cost of the desk plus two chairs of the same price, which adds up to the total price.

Solve for c:

  • $185.83 + 2c = $627.83
  • 2c = $442
  • c = $221

Each chair, c, costs $221.
