A washer and a dryer cost $808 combined the washer costs $92 less than the dryer what is the cost of the dryer

Answer 1

Let x = the cost of the dryer

Since the washer costs $92 less than the dryer, x - 92 is the cost of the washer

Together they cost $808

So the cost of the dryer (x) + the cost of the washer (x-92) = 808

2x - 92 = 808

2x = 900

x=450

So the cost of the dryer is $450
