(1) The price of the boat is $7,500 more than the price of the trailer.
(2) The combined price of the boat and trailer is $15,000.
Let b = boat and t = trailer.
What is the value of t?
Statement 1:
b = 7500+t
No way to solve for t.
INSUFFICIENT.
Statement 2:
b+t = 15000
No way to solve for t.
INSUFFICIENT.
Statements combined:
Since we have two variables (b and t) and two distinct linear equations (b=7500+t and b+t=15000), we can solve for the two variables,.
Thus, the value of t can be determined.
SUFFICIENT.
The correct answer is
C.
