PSLEWill and Bryan shared the total cost of a souvenir. Will paid $36 less than
47 of the cost of the souvenir. Bryan paid $87. How much did the souvenir cost?
Will |
Bryan |
Total |
4 u - 36 |
3 u + 36 = 87 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Will paid = 4 u - 36
Amount that Bryan paid = 3 u + 36 = 87
3 u = 87 - 36 = 51
1 u = 51 ÷ 3 = 17
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 17
= $119
Answer(s): $119
