PSLEBilly and Ryan shared the total cost of a souvenir. Billy paid $33 less than
29 of the cost of the souvenir. Ryan paid $96. How much did the souvenir cost?
Billy |
Ryan |
Total |
2 u - 33 |
7 u + 33 = 96 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Billy paid = 2 u - 33
Amount that Ryan paid = 7 u + 33 = 96
7 u = 96 - 33 = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 7 = 9
Cost of the souvenir
= 9 u
= 9 x 9
= $81
Answer(s): $81
