A table and chairs cost $1200. The price of the table is three times the price of the chairs.?

Question

What is the cost of the chairs ?

Answer 1

put the price for the chairs as X, and then since the table is three times the price of the chairs that is 3X.

Add them so they equal the total: X+3X=1200
so you get: 4X=1200
X=300
the price of the chairs is $300

Answer 2

The price of the chairs is X.
The price of the table is three times that, so 3X.
So you have it that 4X=$1200.
To find the value of X, divide both sides by 4, and you find that X=$300.
The table is $900 and the chairs are $300.

Answer 3

table and chairs = 1200
t=3c

the table cost 900
900/3=300

not sure though
lol
cause tha table cost 900 then divide it by 3 then you will get 300 the total cost of the chairs

so
t+c=1200
900+300=1200

Answer 4

okie lets see what we can do:
let number of chair = x
table is 3times chair = 3x

now table + chair = 1200
3x + x = 1200
4x =1200
x = 300

now
chair x= 300
table 3x = 3(300)= 900

Answer 5

3x + x = 1200
4x=1200
x=300=$of chairs

Answer 6

t+c=1200
3t=c
1200-3t=c
1200=3t+c
