PSLECharlie and Liam shared the total cost of a souvenir. Charlie paid $26 less than
47 of the cost of the souvenir. Liam paid $89. How much did the souvenir cost?
Charlie |
Liam |
Total |
4 u - 26 |
3 u + 26 = 89 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Charlie paid = 4 u - 26
Amount that Liam paid = 3 u + 26 = 89
3 u = 89 - 26 = 63
1 u = 63 ÷ 3 = 21
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 21
= $147
Answer(s): $147
