Question

a garden table and a bench cost $794 combined. The garden table cost 94$ more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

x - price for the bench,

then

x+94 is the price for the table.

 

Both cost 794:

x + (x+94) = 794,

 

We solve for x:

2x + 94 = 794,

2x = 700,

x = 700/2

x=350.

The cost for bench is 350.

The cost for table is

350 +94 =444.
