PSLEFred and Vaidev shared the total cost of a souvenir. Fred paid $32 more than
25 of the cost of the souvenir. Vaidev paid $61. How much did the souvenir cost?
Fred |
Vaidev |
Total |
2 u + 32 |
3 u - 32 = 61 |
5 u |
Total amount paid = 5 u
Amount that Fred paid = 2 u + 32
Amount that Vaidev paid = 3 u - 32 = 61
3 u = 61 + 32 = 93
1 u = 93 ÷ 3 = 31
Cost of the souvenir
= 5 u
= 5 x 31
= $155
Answer(s): $155
