The cost of a washer is $1184 while the cost of a drier is $296
Word Problem
Given Data
- Total cost of washer and dryer = $1184
- let the cost of a washer be = w
- let the cost of a drier be = d
Hence,
w+d = 1184 -------------1
we know that the cost of the washer is three times the cost of the dryer.
w = 3d -------------------2
put w = 3d in equation 1
3d + d = 1184
4d = 1184
d = 1184/4
d = 296
The cost of a drier is $296
put d = $296 in equation 2
w = 3*296
w = $888
Check:
$888+$296 = $1184
