A sofa costs $50 less than three times the cost of a shair. If the sofa and chair together cost $650, how much more does the sofa cost than the chair ? |
|
Answer» `$175` `{{:(s = 3c -50),(s+c=650):}` The TOP EQUATION is already solved for s, so substitute `3c-50` into the bottom equation for s and solve for c: `3c-50+c =650` ` 4c-50=650` `4c =700` `c = 175` Remember to check if you solved for the right thing! The chair costs `$175,` so the sofa costs `3 (175)-50=525-50=$475.` This means the sofa costs `$475-$175=$330` more than the chair. Therefore, (C ) is correct. |
