<PRE><B>Question 940892</B>
The total cost of a USB drive and a printer was $225.50. If the cost of the USB drive is $170.70 less than the printer , what was the cost of each item?
---------------------
Printer cost:: x
USB cost::: x - 170.70
----------------------------
Equation:
x + x-170.70 = 225.50
----
2x = 396.20
---
x = $198.10 (princter cost)
x - 170.70 = 198.10 - 170.7 = $27.40
