Problema Solution

A washer and a dryer cost $600 combined. The cost of the washer is three times the cost of the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer

Answer provided by our tutors

let washer be w and drier be d

w + d = 600

3w = d

replace d with 3w

w + 3w = 600

4w = 600

w = 150

d = 600-150= 450

drier = 450
