Set up equation: Step 1: Set up the equation based on the problem statement. Let the price of the chair be x yuan. Then, the price of the table is 10x yuan. The difference in their prices is given as 288 yuan. So, the equation is 10x−x=288.
Simplify equation: Step 2: Simplify the equation to find the price of the chair. 10x−x=288 simplifies to 9x=288.
Solve for x: Step 3: Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 9. x = rac{288}{9}.
Calculate price: Step 4: Calculate x=9288. x=32. So, the price of one chair is 32 yuan.
