Answer:
$375
Explanation:
• Let the cost of the dryer = d
The washer costs $47 more than the dryer, therefore:
• The cost of the washer = d+47
The combined cost of the washer and dryer = $797
Therefore:
[tex]\begin{gathered} Cost\; of\; \text{Washer}+\text{Cost of Dryer}=\$797 \\ d+47+d=797 \\ 2d=797-47 \\ 2d=750 \\ \text{Divide both sides by 2} \\ \frac{2d}{2}=\frac{750}{2} \\ d=\$375 \end{gathered}[/tex]The cost of the dryer is $375.
