PSLEJack and Will shared the total cost of a present. Jack paid $46 less than
25 of the cost of the present. Will paid $91. How much did the present cost?
Jack |
Will |
Total |
2 u - 46 |
3 u + 46 = 91 |
5 u |
Total amount paid = 5 u
Amount that Jack paid = 2 u - 46
Amount that Will paid = 3 u + 46 = 91
3 u = 91 - 46 = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 3 = 15
Cost of the present
= 5 u
= 5 x 15
= $75
Answer(s): $75
