$922
combined. The garden table costs
$72
more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
g = the cost of the garden table
b = the cost of the bench
A garden table and a bench cost $922 combined:
g + b = 922
The garden table costs $72 more than the bench:
g = 72 + b
by solving the system of equations:
g + b = 922
g = 72 + b
we find:
b = $425
g = $497
