PSLEFlynn and Rael shared the total cost of a souvenir. Flynn paid $28 more than
27 of the cost of the souvenir. Rael paid $62. How much did the souvenir cost?
Flynn |
Rael |
Total |
2 u + 28 |
5 u - 28 = 62 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Flynn paid = 2 u + 28
Amount that Rael paid = 5 u - 28 = 62
5 u = 62 + 28 = 90
1 u = 90 ÷ 5 = 18
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 18
= $126
Answer(s): $126
