Acomputer and printer cost a total of $1028. the cost of the computer is three times the cost of the printer. find the cost of each item.

Printer: $257, Computer: $771

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to make a part to part diagram. It sounds stupid at first but trust me it works, We assume the both have the same amount. Now we draw 3 boxes for printer because it is 3 times as much. Now we have 4 boxes. divide 1028 by 4 and get 257. That is the amount for each box. You now know the printer is 257 dollars. Now multiply that by 3 to find cost of printer. 257x3=771.

Now you know the computer cost 771 dollars. You can check your work by adding them up. Hope this helped
