Answers

bag+belt = 120
bag+watch = 248
watch = 6belt
so, putting that all together,
bag+6belt = 248
bag+belt = 120
subtract to get
5belt = 128
bag+(128/5) = 120
bag = 94.40
bag+watch = 248
watch = 6belt
so, putting that all together,
bag+6belt = 248
bag+belt = 120
subtract to get
5belt = 128
bag+(128/5) = 120
bag = 94.40
