PSLESeth and Gabriel shared the total cost of a souvenir. Seth paid $44 less than
49 of the cost of the souvenir. Gabriel paid $69. How much did the souvenir cost?
Seth |
Gabriel |
Total |
4 u - 44 |
5 u + 44 = 69 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Seth paid = 4 u - 44
Amount that Gabriel paid = 5 u + 44 = 69
5 u = 69 - 44 = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Cost of the souvenir
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= $45
Answer(s): $45
