Aparty rental company has chairs and tables for rent. the total cost to rent 2 chairs and 3 tables is $28. the total cost to rent 4 chairs and 8 tables is $73. what is the cost to rent each chair and each table?

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) 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

cost to rent each chair is $1.25

cost to rent each table is $8.50

1/8 3/16 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

you put them as all the same denominator and multiply
