Two hammers and a screwdriver cost a total of 34. A hammer and 3 screwdrivers cost a total of 32. Find the price of each type of tool

Sagot :

Answer: 14 , 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

2 hammers and a screwdriver cost 34

1 hammer and 3 screwdrivers cost 32

Suppose the cost of the hammer is x and the cost of the screwdriver is y

[tex]\therefore 2x+y=34\quad\ \ldots(i)\\x+3y=32\quad \ldots(ii)[/tex]

Solving (i) and (ii) we get

[tex]x=14;y=6[/tex]

Thus, hammer cost 14 and screwdriver costs 6
