A garden table and a bench cost $1000 combined. The cost of the garden is three times the cost of the bench what is the cost of the bench

The cost of the bench is $250

Step-by-step explanation:

let garden table be g

let bench be b

so we have: g+b = $1000 and g = three times of b, that is g = 3b. substitute the value of g = 3b into g+b = $1000, therefore 3b+b = $1000

4b = $1000

b = $1000/4

b = $250.
