PSLEAsher and Ryan shared the total cost of a souvenir. Asher paid $20 more than
411 of the cost of the souvenir. Ryan paid $29. How much did the souvenir cost?
Asher |
Ryan |
Total |
4 u + 20 |
7 u - 20 = 29 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Asher paid = 4 u + 20
Amount that Ryan paid = 7 u - 20 = 29
7 u = 29 + 20 = 49
1 u = 49 ÷ 7 = 7
Cost of the souvenir
= 11 u
= 11 x 7
= $77
Answer(s): $77
