Let's denote the cost of a chair as x.

According to the problem, the table costs 4 times as much as a chair, so the cost of the table is 4x.

The total cost for 1 table and 3 chairs is $525. So, we can set up the following equation:

4x (cost of the table) + 3x (cost of the three chairs) = $525

Solving this equation will give us the cost of one chair (x), and then we can find the cost of the table (4x).

Let's solve it:

7x = $525

To find the value of x, we divide both sides of the equation by 7:

x = $525 / 7
x = $75

So, a chair costs $75.

Now, to find the cost of the table, we multiply the cost of one chair by 4:

Cost of the table = 4 * cost of a chair
Cost of the table = 4 * $75
Cost of the table = $300

So, the table costs $300.

Question

Let's denote the cost of a chair as x.

x = $75

So, a chair costs $75.

Now, to find the cost of the table, we multiply the cost of one chair by 4:

Cost of the table = 4 * cost of a chair
Cost of the table = 4 * $75
Cost of the table = $300

So, the table costs $300.
