Question

dino's father bought a study table,a chair,and a cabinet for 4231 altogether. The cabinet costs 220 more than the table. The table costs 1200 more than a chair. what is the cost of each item?

Answer 1

Let the cost of the chair be C, then the cost of the table=C+1200 and the cost of the cabinet=C+1200+220=C+1420.

All together: C+C+1200+C+1420=4231 so 3C=4231-2620=1611, and C=1611/3=537.

The chair costs 537, the table 1737 and the cabinet 1957.
