PSLEDaniel and Oliver shared the total cost of a gift. Daniel paid $34 less than
47 of the cost of the gift. Oliver paid $52. How much did the gift cost?
Daniel |
Oliver |
Total |
4 u - 34 |
3 u + 34 = 52 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Daniel paid = 4 u - 34
Amount that Oliver paid = 3 u + 34 = 52
3 u = 52 - 34 = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 3 = 6
Cost of the gift
= 7 u
= 7 x 6
= $42
Answer(s): $42
