Question

An umbrella and a bag together cost Rs. $152$. If the price of the bag of Rs. $24$ more than that of the umbrella. What would be the cost of $6$ such bags?

Answer 1

let umrella be $x$

& bag be $y$

$x+y=152$

$x+24=y$

put the value of $x$ in equation

$x+(x+24)=152$

$2x=128$

$x=64$

$y=x+24$ ,

$y=24+64=88$

the cost of 6 bags be $6y=6\times 88=528$
