Together, a computer, monitor, and printer cost $1,935. The monitor costs $400 less than the computer, and the printer costs $50 more than the monitor. Find the cost of the printer.

Step 1. Let x be the cost of the monitor, let x+50 be the cost of the printer, x+400 be the cost of the computer.

Step 2. x+x+50+x+400=1935 Total cost of computer, monitor, and printer. Then

With x=495, then x+50=545 and x+400=895. Check to see if total is 1935 or 495+545+895=1935 which is a true statement.

Step 3. ANSWER. The cost of the printer is $545.

I hope the above steps were helpful.
