Answer:
The garden table costs $531 and the bench costs $450.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cost of garden table be x and that of bench be y
Condition 1:
x + y = 981 ----------------(1)
Condition 2:
x = 81+y ----------------(2)
Putting (2) in (1)
=> 81+y+y = 981
=> 81+2y = 981
Subtracting 81 to both sides
=> 2y = 981-81
=> 2y = 900
Dividing both sides by 2
=> y = $450
Now,
x = 81+y
=> x = 81+450
=> x = $531
So, the garden table costs $531 and the bench costs $450.
