6,192 I did this by multiplying
The total amount that Mrs. Thomas spent, is $2709.

Divide the price of the bed by 4. 
$1548 ÷ 4 = $387
The price of one armchair costs $387.
Multiply the cost of the armchair by how many armchairs Mrs. Thomas bought.
$387 x 3 = $1161
Add the price of three armchairs to the price of the bed.
$1548 + $1161 = $2709
