PSLETim and Eric shared the total cost of a souvenir. Tim paid $32 less than
29 of the cost of the souvenir. Eric paid $67. How much did the souvenir cost?
Tim |
Eric |
Total |
2 u - 32 |
7 u + 32 = 67 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Tim paid = 2 u - 32
Amount that Eric paid = 7 u + 32 = 67
7 u = 67 - 32 = 35
1 u = 35 ÷ 7 = 5
Cost of the souvenir
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= $45
Answer(s): $45
