PSLEJeremy and Charlie shared the total cost of a present. Jeremy paid $46 less than
211 of the cost of the present. Charlie paid $91. How much did the present cost?
Jeremy |
Charlie |
Total |
2 u - 46 |
9 u + 46 = 91 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Jeremy paid = 2 u - 46
Amount that Charlie paid = 9 u + 46 = 91
9 u = 91 - 46 = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 9 = 5
Cost of the present
= 11 u
= 11 x 5
= $55
Answer(s): $55
