Question

A garden table and a bench cost $450 combined. The cost of the garden table is two times the cost of the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

The table costs 300
Thebench costs 150

450 divided by 3 then take that number and double it to find the cost of table

Answer 2

g + b = 450
g = 2b

2b + b = 450
3b = 450
b = 450/3
b = 150 <== cost of the bench

g = 2b
g = 2(150)
g = 300 ....cost of the garden table
