The correct statement is that the cost of the dryer will be $475 if the cost of the dryer is $41 more than the cost of the washer when the buying price of both the quantities is $909.
The cost can be ascertained by taking the value of the washer as x and then considering the cost of the dryer as x+41 and forming an equation to find the solution.
The equation which is formed after the cost of the washer is considered as x and that of the dryer is taken as x+41 will be,
[tex]\begin{aligned} x+x+41 &=909\\2x&= 909-41\\x&=434 \end[/tex]
So, the cost of the dryer will be,
[tex]\rm Cost\ of\ Dryer= x+41\\\\\rm Cost\ of\ Dryer= 434+41\\\\\rm Cost\ of\ Dryer=\$475[/tex]
So, the cost of the dryer will be $475 and the cost of the washer will be $434.
Hence, the correct statement is that the cost of the dryer will be $475 if the cost of the dryer is $41 more than the cost of the washer when the buying price of both the quantities is $909.
