PSLEDaniel and Tim shared the total cost of a present. Daniel paid $35 less than
27 of the cost of the present. Tim paid $70. How much did the present cost?
Daniel |
Tim |
Total |
2 u - 35 |
5 u + 35 = 70 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Daniel paid = 2 u - 35
Amount that Tim paid = 5 u + 35 = 70
5 u = 70 - 35 = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 5 = 7
Cost of the present
= 7 u
= 7 x 7
= $49
Answer(s): $49
