PSLENeave and Warren shared the total cost of a souvenir. Neave paid $50 more than
27 of the cost of the souvenir. Warren paid $65. How much did the souvenir cost?
Neave |
Warren |
Total |
2 u + 50 |
5 u - 50 = 65 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Neave paid = 2 u + 50
Amount that Warren paid = 5 u - 50 = 65
5 u = 65 + 50 = 115
1 u = 115 ÷ 5 = 23
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 23
= $161
Answer(s): $161
