PSLEDylan and Bryan shared the total cost of a souvenir. Dylan paid $20 more than
47 of the cost of the souvenir. Bryan paid $25. How much did the souvenir cost?
Dylan |
Bryan |
Total |
4 u + 20 |
3 u - 20 = 25 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Dylan paid = 4 u + 20
Amount that Bryan paid = 3 u - 20 = 25
3 u = 25 + 20 = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 3 = 15
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 15
= $105
Answer(s): $105
