A garden table and a bench cost $940 combined. The garden table costs 90 more than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?
Let's represent the cost of the bench as x.
Therefore, the cost of the garden table is x + 90.
According to the given information, the total cost of the table and bench is $940.
So, the equation becomes:
x + (x + 90) = 940
2x + 90 = 940
2x = 850
x = 425
Therefore, the cost of the bench is $425.
