PSLEGlen and Liam shared the total cost of a souvenir. Glen paid $15 less than
49 of the cost of the souvenir. Liam paid $65. How much did the souvenir cost?
Glen |
Liam |
Total |
4 u - 15 |
5 u + 15 = 65 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Glen paid = 4 u - 15
Amount that Liam paid = 5 u + 15 = 65
5 u = 65 - 15 = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 5 = 10
Cost of the souvenir
= 9 u
= 9 x 10
= $90
Answer(s): $90
