let cost of computer be $x
monitor cost will be x-300
printer cost will be x-300+50
..
sum of all = 1775
...
x+x-300+x-300+50=1775
3x-550=1775
+550
3x=1775+550
3x=2325
/3
x= 775
printer will cost 775-300+50

Let x = computer

Let (x - 300) = monitor

Let (x + 50) = printer

x + x - 300 + x + 50 = 1775
