PSLEArchie and Fabian shared the total cost of a present. Archie paid $27 less than
47 of the cost of the present. Fabian paid $93. How much did the present cost?
Archie |
Fabian |
Total |
4 u - 27 |
3 u + 27 = 93 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Archie paid = 4 u - 27
Amount that Fabian paid = 3 u + 27 = 93
3 u = 93 - 27 = 66
1 u = 66 ÷ 3 = 22
Cost of the present
= 7 u
= 7 x 22
= $154
Answer(s): $154
