Need help plz show work!

I bought 8 chairs costing x dollars each, and a table for y dollars. How much more did I pay for the chairs than for the table?

Answer 1

8x-y is the answer.

Explanation:

one chair is x, so eight would be written as 8x

table is y so subtract the twice between the two.

8x-y= amount paid

Answer 2

1 chair = X
8 chairs = 8X

1 table = Y

8X - Y is the more amount you paid for chairs
