A party rental company has chairs and tables for rent. The total cost to rent 5 chairs and 3 tables is $37. The total cost to rent 2 chairs and 6 tables is $64. What is the cost to rent each chair and each table?

Let c be the cost of renting one chair and t be the cost of renting one table. We're given two equations:

1. 5c + 3t = 37
2. 2c + 6t =64

We have a system of equations. Using our system of equations calculator, we can solve this problem any of 3 ways below:

• Elimination Method
• Substitution Method
• Cramer's Rule

All 3 methods give the same answer:

• Chairs (c) cost $1.25
• Tables (t) cost $10.25
