PSLEFabian and Vincent shared the total cost of a present. Fabian paid $19 more than
49 of the cost of the present. Vincent paid $76. How much did the present cost?
Fabian |
Vincent |
Total |
4 u + 19 |
5 u - 19 = 76 |
9 u |
Total amount paid = 9 u
Amount that Fabian paid = 4 u + 19
Amount that Vincent paid = 5 u - 19 = 76
5 u = 76 + 19 = 95
1 u = 95 ÷ 5 = 19
Cost of the present
= 9 u
= 9 x 19
= $171
Answer(s): $171
