PSLEKen and Gabriel shared the total cost of a present. Ken paid $16 less than
411 of the cost of the present. Gabriel paid $100. How much did the present cost?
Ken |
Gabriel |
Total |
4 u - 16 |
7 u + 16 = 100 |
11 u |
Total amount paid = 11 u
Amount that Ken paid = 4 u - 16
Amount that Gabriel paid = 7 u + 16 = 100
7 u = 100 - 16 = 84
1 u = 84 ÷ 7 = 12
Cost of the present
= 11 u
= 11 x 12
= $132
Answer(s): $132
