Question

A garden table and a bench cost $750 combined. The garden table costs $100 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

Answer:

$425.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let price of the bench be x and the table be y.

x + y = 750

x - y =  100   adding:

2x = 850

x = 425

so y = 750-425 = 325.
