PSLEFlynn and Jack shared the total cost of a present. Flynn paid $32 more than
47 of the cost of the present. Jack paid $88. How much did the present cost?
Flynn |
Jack |
Total |
4 u + 32 |
3 u - 32 = 88 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Flynn paid = 4 u + 32
Amount that Jack paid = 3 u - 32 = 88
3 u = 88 + 32 = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 3 = 40
Cost of the present
= 7 u
= 7 x 40
= $280
Answer(s): $280
