PSLESean and Cody shared the total cost of a souvenir. Sean paid $41 more than
211 of the cost of the souvenir. Cody paid $76. How much did the souvenir cost?
Sean |
Cody |
Total |
2 u + 41 |
9 u - 41 = 76 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Sean paid = 2 u + 41
Amount that Cody paid = 9 u - 41 = 76
9 u = 76 + 41 = 117
1 u = 117 ÷ 9 = 13
Cost of the souvenir
= 11 u
= 11 x 13
= $143
Answer(s): $143
