PSLETim and Paul shared the total cost of a souvenir. Tim paid $22 less than
49 of the cost of the souvenir. Paul paid $47. How much did the souvenir cost?
Tim |
Paul |
Total |
4 u - 22 |
5 u + 22 = 47 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Tim paid = 4 u - 22
Amount that Paul paid = 5 u + 22 = 47
5 u = 47 - 22 = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Cost of the souvenir
= 9 u
= 9 x 5
= $45
Answer(s): $45
