PSLEAhmad and Howard shared the total cost of a souvenir. Ahmad paid $17 more than
49 of the cost of the souvenir. Howard paid $43. How much did the souvenir cost?
Ahmad |
Howard |
Total |
4 u + 17 |
5 u - 17 = 43 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Ahmad paid = 4 u + 17
Amount that Howard paid = 5 u - 17 = 43
5 u = 43 + 17 = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Cost of the souvenir
= 9 u
= 9 x 12
= $108
Answer(s): $108
