Mrs. Watsherface had a garage sale. A custmer named Gina
bought an old lamp and a rug. She paid a total of $5.25 for
everything. The rug cost 25 cents more than the lamp.

How much did each cost?

Answer Posted / 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
