Question 1097238: Hong bought a desktop computer and a laptop computer, before finance charges the laptop cost $250 less than the desktop. He paid for the computers using two different financing plans. For the desk top 7% per year and for the laptop 8% per year. The total finance for one year was $325. How much did each cost before finance charges? Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let d and d-250 be the cost of the desktop and laptop, respectively. Then
.07d+.08(d-250)=325
.15d=325+20
d=2300
d-250=2050
as the cost of the computers before finance charges
