PSLELui and Dylan shared the total cost of a souvenir. Lui paid $43 more than
25 of the cost of the souvenir. Dylan paid $86. How much did the souvenir cost?
Lui |
Dylan |
Total |
2 u + 43 |
3 u - 43 = 86 |
5 u |
Total amount paid = 5 u
Amount that Lui paid = 2 u + 43
Amount that Dylan paid = 3 u - 43 = 86
3 u = 86 + 43 = 129
1 u = 129 ÷ 3 = 43
Cost of the souvenir
= 5 u
= 5 x 43
= $215
Answer(s): $215
