PSLEDylan and Justin shared the total cost of a present. Dylan paid $33 more than
211 of the cost of the present. Justin paid $66. How much did the present cost?
Dylan |
Justin |
Total |
2 u + 33 |
9 u - 33 = 66 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Dylan paid = 2 u + 33
Amount that Justin paid = 9 u - 33 = 66
9 u = 66 + 33 = 99
1 u = 99 ÷ 9 = 11
Cost of the present
= 11 u
= 11 x 11
= $121
Answer(s): $121
