PSLEPerry and Cody shared the total cost of a gift. Perry paid $32 more than
211 of the cost of the gift. Cody paid $49. How much did the gift cost?
Perry |
Cody |
Total |
2 u + 32 |
9 u - 32 = 49 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Perry paid = 2 u + 32
Amount that Cody paid = 9 u - 32 = 49
9 u = 49 + 32 = 81
1 u = 81 ÷ 9 = 9
Cost of the gift
= 11 u
= 11 x 9
= $99
Answer(s): $99
