Ms. Taylor has a budget of $1500 to spend on a table and 6 chairs. The total price she spent was $249 under her budget. The table costs 3 times more than a chair. What was the price of the table?

Answer 1

1500 - 249 = $1,251

Let c represent the cost of one chair.

6c + 3c = 1251

c = 1251/9

c = 139
