Question

A washer and a dryer cost $600 combined. The cost of the washer is three times the cost of the dryer. What is the cost of the dryer?

SnapAndSolve AI · Accepted Answer

Let the cost of the dryer be x. Then the cost of the washer is 3x. According to the problem, the total cost is $600, so:

x + 3x = 600

4x = 600

Divide both sides by 4:

x = 150

Therefore, the cost of the dryer is $150.
