    c = cart
h = horse
A horse and a cart together cost 1600 mean:
h + c = 1600
The cost of the cart is one third the cost of the horse mean:
c = h / 3
h + c = 1600
h + h / 3 = 1600
3 h / 3 + h / 3 = 1600
4 h / 3 = 1600
Multiply both sides by 3
4 h = 3 ∙ 1600
4 h = 4800
Divide both sides by 4
h = 4800 / 4
h = 1200
c = h / 3 = 1200 / 3 = 400
The cost of a horse 1200
The cost of a cart 400

    3c = h
c+h = 1600
now just find c and h.
    
c+h = 1600
now just find c and h.
