Answer:

The couch costs $678 and $339 for the coffee.

Step-by-step explanation:

In total you spent $1017 and it was used in 3 portions, 2 for the couch, and 1 for the coffee. First divide it and find out how much each portion costs. In this case (1017 divided by 3) the answer will be 339. Now since you spent 2 of the 3 portions on the couch multiply one portion by 2. Then you get 678 for 2 portions, hence telling us that the couch costed, $678. With the remaining one portion of 339, you already know coffee costs $339. Please give me brainliest, I am new to answering questions. Thanks!
