$1500-249=$1251
$1251 divided by 9=139
$139 times 3=$417
The price of the table is $417
$1251 divided by 9=139
$139 times 3=$417
The price of the table is $417
then, X = 3Y (The table cost 3 times as much as a chair)
X + 6Y = 1251 (The table and 6 Chair price)
3Y + 6Y = 1251
9Y = 1251
Y= 1251/9 = 139
So Table = 3 * 139 = $417
1. Mr. Edstrom's budget: $1500
2. The total price was $249 under the budget: $1500 - $249 = $1251
3. The table cost 3 times as much as a chair.
Let's assume the price of a chair is x dollars.
Since the table cost 3 times as much as a chair, the price of the table can be represented as 3x dollars.
Now, let's set up an equation to solve for x:
6 chairs + 1 table = $1251
6x + 3x = $1251
9x = $1251
Dividing both sides of the equation by 9:
x = $139
So, the price of a chair is $139.
To find the price of the table, we can substitute the value of x into the equation:
Price of the table = 3 * x = 3 * $139 = $417
Therefore, the price of the table is $417.
