Ms. Edstrom had a budget of $1,500 to spend on a table and 6 chairs. The total price was $249 under her budget amount.
The table cost 3 times as much as a chair.
What was the price of the table?
Explanation / Answer
Oranges packed by Cindy = 850
Oranges packed by Glen = 850 - 470 = 380
Oranges packed by Cindy in the afternoon = 3* 380 = 1140
Total Oranges packed by Cindy = 850 + 1140 = 1990
Bags required = 1990/5 = 398
-------------------------------------------------
Budget = $1,500
Total price = $1,500 - $249 = $1,251
Cost of table = 3 * cost of chair
Let the cost of a chair = $x
Cost of table = $ 3x
3x + 6*(x) = 1251
9x = 1251
x = $139
Price of table = 3*139 = $417
