Question

A garden table and a bench cost $684 combined. The garden table costs $66 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

$375

Explanation:

Total cost be,

→ $684

Let the cost of garden table be,

→ x - $66

Then the cost of bench will be,

→ (x - 66) + x = 684

→ 2x - 66 = 684

→ 2x = 684 + 66

→ x = 750/2

→ [ x = $375 ]

Hence, the cost of bench is $375.
