PSLECaden and Gabriel shared the total cost of a gift. Caden paid $46 more than
49 of the cost of the gift. Gabriel paid $84. How much did the gift cost?
Caden |
Gabriel |
Total |
4 u + 46 |
5 u - 46 = 84 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Caden paid = 4 u + 46
Amount that Gabriel paid = 5 u - 46 = 84
5 u = 84 + 46 = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 5 = 26
Cost of the gift
= 9 u
= 9 x 26
= $234
Answer(s): $234
