Solution
13 chairs and 5 tables were bought for ₹ 8280. We can write the equation,
13C+5T=8280
If the average cost of a table is ₹1227, for 5 tables, the total cost of the tables will be 6135.
Remaining amount after subtracting the amount spent on tables will be, 2145.
Average cost of a chair will hence be, 2145/13=165.
