A couch and coffee table cost a total of $996. The cost of the couch is two times the cost of the coffee table. Find the cost of each item.

the cost of the couch is 664 and the cost of the coffe table is 332

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the cost of the coffee table and 2x is the cost of the couch (which is two times more than the coffee table)

2x + x = $996

3x = $996

x = 996/ 3

x = $332 (this is what the coffee table cost)

2x => 2(332)

2x => $664 (the cost of the couch which is two times the cost of the coffee table)

together, $332 + $664 = $996 total

Answer is b. Hoped that helped :)
