PSLEJulian and Oscar shared the total cost of a gift. Julian paid $36 more than
47 of the cost of the gift. Oscar paid $69. How much did the gift cost?
Julian |
Oscar |
Total |
4 u + 36 |
3 u - 36 = 69 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Julian paid = 4 u + 36
Amount that Oscar paid = 3 u - 36 = 69
3 u = 69 + 36 = 105
1 u = 105 ÷ 3 = 35
Cost of the gift
= 7 u
= 7 x 35
= $245
Answer(s): $245
