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 / 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

Is This Answer Correct ?    22 Yes 3 No
