PSLEZeph and Dylan shared the total cost of a present. Zeph paid $18 more than
411 of the cost of the present. Dylan paid $87. How much did the present cost?
Zeph |
Dylan |
Total |
4 u + 18 |
7 u - 18 = 87 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Zeph paid = 4 u + 18
Amount that Dylan paid = 7 u - 18 = 87
7 u = 87 + 18 = 105
1 u = 105 ÷ 7 = 15
Cost of the present
= 11 u
= 11 x 15
= $165
Answer(s): $165
