PSLENick and Sean shared the total cost of a gift. Nick paid $17 less than
411 of the cost of the gift. Sean paid $66. How much did the gift cost?
Nick |
Sean |
Total |
4 u - 17 |
7 u + 17 = 66 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Nick paid = 4 u - 17
Amount that Sean paid = 7 u + 17 = 66
7 u = 66 - 17 = 49
1 u = 49 ÷ 7 = 7
Cost of the gift
= 11 u
= 11 x 7
= $77
Answer(s): $77
