Jackie bought a used computer and some software; together,
they cost $1200.  The software was 1/4 of the cost of the computer.
How much did Jackie pay for the computer?

Respuesta :

Let
S=cost of software
4S=cost of computer
Total cost = $1200
=>
S+4S=1200
solve for S
5S=1200
S=240  (= cost of software)
Cost of computer = 4*240 = $960
