Question

The cost of 5 belts and 7 ties was $1995. Each tie cost twice as much as a belt. What was the total cost of a tie and a belt?

Please tell me the final answer.

Answer 1

Let cost of tie be X

therefore belt cost is X/2

 

5X/2+7X=1995

 

X=210

X/2=105

 

total cost of a tie and belt is = 210+105 = 315
