PSLEJustin and Tim shared the total cost of a gift. Justin paid $18 more than
411 of the cost of the gift. Tim paid $45. How much did the gift cost?
Justin |
Tim |
Total |
4 u + 18 |
7 u - 18 = 45 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Justin paid = 4 u + 18
Amount that Tim paid = 7 u - 18 = 45
7 u = 45 + 18 = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 7 = 9
Cost of the gift
= 11 u
= 11 x 9
= $99
Answer(s): $99
