Answer:
$450
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the costs of washer and dryer be x and y dollars respectively.
Therefore, according to the given conditions:
x + y = $856...... (1)
and
x = y - 44.... (2)
From equations (1) & (2)
y - 44 + y = 856
2y = 856 + 44
2y = 900
y = 900/2
y = $450
Thus the cost of dryer is $450.
