let
c = the cost to rent one chair
t = the cost to rent one table
The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 12 tables is $105:
2c + 12t = 105
The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $33:
5c + 3t = 33
by solving the system of equations:
2c + 12t = 105
5c + 3t = 33
we find:
c = $1.5 per chair
t = $8.5 per chair
