PSLEVaidev and Bryan shared the total cost of a souvenir. Vaidev paid $45 more than
25 of the cost of the souvenir. Bryan paid $90. How much did the souvenir cost?
Vaidev |
Bryan |
Total |
2 u + 45 |
3 u - 45 = 90 |
5 u |
Total amount paid = 5 u
Amount that Vaidev paid = 2 u + 45
Amount that Bryan paid = 3 u - 45 = 90
3 u = 90 + 45 = 135
1 u = 135 ÷ 3 = 45
Cost of the souvenir
= 5 u
= 5 x 45
= $225
Answer(s): $225
