A garden table and a bench cost $940 combined. The garden table costs 90 more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?

Answer 1

Let's represent the cost of the bench as x.

Therefore, the cost of the garden table is x + 90.

According to the given information, the total cost of the table and bench is $940.

So, the equation becomes:
x + (x + 90) = 940
2x + 90 = 940
2x = 850
x = 425

Therefore, the cost of the bench is $425.
