Question

A store sells tables made out of glass, wood and plastic. A glass table costs twice the amount of a wooden table, and three times the amount of a plastic table If the price of a wooden table is $7 more than a plastic table, what is the price of a glass table? pls show working ​

Answer 1

Answer: Let's represent the price of a plastic table as x.

Then the price of a wooden table is x + 7, and the price of a glass table is 2(x + 7) = 2x + 14.

We know that the price of a glass table is three times the amount of a plastic table, so we can set up the equation:

2x + 14 = 3x

Subtracting 2x from both sides, we get:

14 = x

So the price of a plastic table is $14. Therefore, the price of a wooden table is x + 7 = 21, and the price of a glass table is 2x + 14 = $30.

Therefore, the price of a glass table is $30.
