PSLEEric and Japheth shared the total cost of a present. Eric paid $21 more than
47 of the cost of the present. Japheth paid $93. How much did the present cost?
Eric |
Japheth |
Total |
4 u + 21 |
3 u - 21 = 93 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Eric paid = 4 u + 21
Amount that Japheth paid = 3 u - 21 = 93
3 u = 93 + 21 = 114
1 u = 114 ÷ 3 = 38
Cost of the present
= 7 u
= 7 x 38
= $266
Answer(s): $266
