PSLEMark and Caden shared the total cost of a souvenir. Mark paid $45 less than
25 of the cost of the souvenir. Caden paid $90. How much did the souvenir cost?
Mark |
Caden |
Total |
2 u - 45 |
3 u + 45 = 90 |
5 u |
Total amount paid = 5 u
Amount that Mark paid = 2 u - 45
Amount that Caden paid = 3 u + 45 = 90
3 u = 90 - 45 = 45
1 u = 45 ÷ 3 = 15
Cost of the souvenir
= 5 u
= 5 x 15
= $75
Answer(s): $75
