PSLEJulian and Cody shared the total cost of a souvenir. Julian paid $23 less than
47 of the cost of the souvenir. Cody paid $68. How much did the souvenir cost?
Julian |
Cody |
Total |
4 u - 23 |
3 u + 23 = 68 |
7 u |
Total amount paid = 7 u
Amount that Julian paid = 4 u - 23
Amount that Cody paid = 3 u + 23 = 68
3 u = 68 - 23 = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 3 = 15
Cost of the souvenir
= 7 u
= 7 x 15
= $105
Answer(s): $105
