PSLEJustin and Dylan shared the total cost of a souvenir. Justin paid $15 less than
49 of the cost of the souvenir. Dylan paid $60. How much did the souvenir cost?
Justin |
Dylan |
Total |
4 u - 15 |
5 u + 15 = 60 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Justin paid = 4 u - 15
Amount that Dylan paid = 5 u + 15 = 60
5 u = 60 - 15 = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 5 = 9
Cost of the souvenir
= 9 u
= 9 x 9
= $81
Answer(s): $81
