The total cost of the computer, the hand blender and the juicer is $1500. The juicer costs four times as much as the hand blender. The computer costs twice as much as the total price of the juicer and hand blender. How much more does the juicer cost than the computer?
| Juicer |
Hand Blender |
Computer |
| 4 u |
1 u |
|
| 5 u |
10 u |
| 4 u |
1 u |
10 u |
Cost of the hand blender = 1 u
Cost of the juicer = 4 u
Total cost of the hand blender and the juicer
= 1 u + 4 u
= 5 u
Cost of the computer
= 2 x 5 u
= 10 u
Total cost of the juicer, the hand blender and computer
= 10 u + 1 u + 4 u
= 15 u
15 u = 1500
1 u = 1500 ÷ 15 = 100
Amount that the computer cost more than the juicer
= 10 u - 4 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 100
= $600
Answer(s): $600
