PSLEEric and Ryan shared the total cost of a present. Eric paid $48 more than
25 of the cost of the present. Ryan paid $30. How much did the present cost?
Eric |
Ryan |
Total |
2 u + 48 |
3 u - 48 = 30 |
5 u |
Total amount paid = 5 u
Amount that Eric paid = 2 u + 48
Amount that Ryan paid = 3 u - 48 = 30
3 u = 30 + 48 = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 3 = 26
Cost of the present
= 5 u
= 5 x 26
= $130
Answer(s): $130
