Two bowls and three plates cost $1421. The cost of the plate is half the cost of the bowl. What is the cost of the bowl?

Sagot :

Lets represent:
x=cost per bowl
y=cost per plate

y=0.5x

Now lets right the equation:
2x+3y=$1421
Substitute the current value for y
2x+3(0.5)=$1421
2x+1.5x=$1421
3.5x=$1421
x=$406

Each cost of bowl is $406, now lets find the cost of each plate
y=0.5x
y=0.5($406)
y=$203

Each cost of plate is $203. Hope this helps =)
