PSLECole and Asher shared the total cost of a souvenir. Cole paid $48 more than
47 of the cost of the souvenir. Asher paid $84. How much did the souvenir cost?
Cole |
Asher |
Total |
4 u + 48 |
3 u - 48 = 84 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Cole paid = 4 u + 48
Amount that Asher paid = 3 u - 48 = 84
3 u = 84 + 48 = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 3 = 44
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 44
= $308
Answer(s): $308
