Aparty rental company has chairs and tables for rent. the total cost to rent 3 chairs and 8 tables is 55$. the total cost to rent 5 chairs and 2 tables is 18$. what is the cost to rent each chair and table?

rent each chair is $1.25 and the cost to rent each table is $8.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let C = cost to rent each chair

Let T = cost to rent each table

4C + 8T = 73

2C + 3T = 28

Multiply the 2nd equation by (-2) and then add the equations together  

4C + 8T = 73

-4C - 6T = -56

2T = 17

T = 17/2 = 8.5

Plug this in to the 1st equation to solve for C

4C + 8(17/2) = 73

4C + 68 = 73

4C = 5

C = 5/4 = 1.25

 Hope this helps!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

3c+8t=$55; 5c+2t=$18. Solving the two simultaneously, using substitution methods, from equation 1

C=55-8t/3(3)_ put (3) in equation (2)

5(55-8t)/3 +2t =$18 ;multiplying both side by 3_ we have

5x55 - 5x8t + 3x2t = 18 x3

275 - 40t + 6t = 54

34t = 275 - 54

34t = 221

t = 221/34 the coefficient of t

t = $6.5 per table.

Therefore, substitute for t in (3) above

We have C = (55 - 8x6.5)/3

C= (55 - 52)/3; 3/3, =$1

Therefore the cost of a chair is $1 and the cost of a table is $6.5

points are handed out whenever you post answers.

brainliest answers are handed out by the person asking the question, so whether your answer is picked depends entirely on whether the asker bothers to pick

if you're asking about your rank, it depends on having a certain number of points and a certain number of brainliest answers. for example, at the time of this writing, i have 44338 points out of 15000 needed for the next (nearly triple the requirement! ) but i only have 24 out of 50 required brainliest answers. this number decays, meaning after a certain amount of time (i think about a month), the total number of brainliest answers you've earned doesn't count toward this total. (i've been stuck at the same rank for a long

the lesson to learn here is that you shouldn't worry about points or rank. chances are, no matter how good an answer you may provide, your efforts will go mostly unnoticed unless you focus on the newest/most active questions that get posted.
