Answer / guest
The lamp cost $ 2.50 and the rug cost $ 2.75
A simple one.
Assume that the lamp cost $ L.
Hence the rug must have cost $ (L + 0.25)
Also, total cost is $ 5.25, Hence the equation :
L + L + 0.25 = 5.25
2 * L = 5
L = 2.50
Hence, the lamp cost $ 2.50 and the rug cost $ 2.75

Answer / kavita rathore
let lamp cost = l
therefore rug cost = (l+25%l)=(l+.25l)=1.25l
a/c to ques.
l+1.25l=$5.25
2.25l=$5.25
l=$2.3333 (cost of lamp)
cost of rug = 1.25l=1.25*2.3333= $2.9125
