PSLESean and Cole shared the total cost of a souvenir. Sean paid $18 less than
47 of the cost of the souvenir. Cole paid $84. How much did the souvenir cost?
Sean |
Cole |
Total |
4 u - 18 |
3 u + 18 = 84 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Sean paid = 4 u - 18
Amount that Cole paid = 3 u + 18 = 84
3 u = 84 - 18 = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 3 = 22
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 22
= $154
Answer(s): $154
