A cabinet, 4 chairs, and 2 tables cost $825. The cabinet costs 3 times as much as a chair. The table costs $120 more than a chair. What is the cost of the cabinet? Please answer with work so I know how to do It next time.

Sagot :

let

x = the cost of the cabinet

y = the cost of a chair

z = the cost of a table

A cabinet, 4 chairs and 2 tables cost $825

x + 4y + 2z = 825

The cabinet costs 3 times as much as a chair

x = 3y

The table costs $120 more than a chair

z = 120 + y

by solving the system of equations

x + 4y + 2z = 825

x = 3y

z = 120 + y

we find

x = $195
