An attractive and interactive image of a cozy dining room. The main focus is on a shining wooden table and six matching chairs positioned around it. The room also showcases some additional elements like a hanging lamp above the table, an elegant rug beneath it, as well as a painting on the wall. The image should reflect a feel of luxury and comfort without any text or figure describing the price or budget of the furniture.

Mr.Edstrom had a budget of $1500 to spend on a table and 6 chairs. The total price was $249 under her budget amount. The table cost 3 times as much as a chair. What was the price of the table?

$1500-249=$1251

$1251 divided by 9=139
$139 times 3=$417
The price of the table is $417

How did you get that answer

Consider X as Table and Y as a Chair

then, X = 3Y (The table cost 3 times as much as a chair)

X + 6Y = 1251 (The table and 6 Chair price)
3Y + 6Y = 1251
9Y = 1251
Y= 1251/9 = 139

So Table = 3 * 139 = $417

What is 9 for?????/

To find the price of the table, let's break down the information given:

1. Mr. Edstrom's budget: $1500
2. The total price was $249 under the budget: $1500 - $249 = $1251
3. The table cost 3 times as much as a chair.

Let's assume the price of a chair is x dollars.

Since the table cost 3 times as much as a chair, the price of the table can be represented as 3x dollars.

Now, let's set up an equation to solve for x:

6 chairs + 1 table = $1251

6x + 3x = $1251

9x = $1251

Dividing both sides of the equation by 9:

x = $139

So, the price of a chair is $139.

To find the price of the table, we can substitute the value of x into the equation:

Price of the table = 3 * x = 3 * $139 = $417

Therefore, the price of the table is $417.

hujjjjj

But why? Where does the 9 come from how is that calculated?

What’s the 9 for?
