Answer:

bench:  $416; table:  $325.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t and b represent the costs of the table and bench respectively.  Then:

t + b = $741, and t = b + $91.

Substituting b + $91 for t in the first equation, we get:

b + $91 + b = $741

Then 2b = $741 - $91, or 2b = $650

Then the bench costs $325 and the table ($325 + $91), or $416.
