A washer and dryer cost $711 combined the washer cost $61 more than the dryer what is the cost of the dryer

$325

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  the dryer be x and the washer be y

x+y= 7111

y= x+612

put y= x+61 in 1

x+x+61= 711

2x+61= 711

2x= 711-61

2x=650

x= 650/2

x=325

Hence the dryer cost $325

$53.50

step-by-step explanation:

you have to subtract the amount of money chuck earned ($72.50) by the cost of the gas for the mower ($11.25) and the new string for the trimmer he bought ($7.75).

72.50-11.25=61.25

and then subtract $61.25 by the second thing he bought (the new string for the trimmer)

61.25-7.75=53.5

so in total it's $53.50 (53 dollars and 50 cents)
