15 Justin's share : Total share = 1 : 5
The total amount paid for the gift is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 10 and 6 is 30.
Amount that Andy, Warren and Simon paid = 25 u
Amount that Andy and Warren paid
= 25 u - 3 u
= 22 u
The amount that Andy and Warren each paid is the same.
Amount that Andy and Warren each paid
= 22 u ÷ 2
= 11 u
Cost of the gift = 30 u
30 u = 240
1 u = 240 ÷ 30 = 8
Amount that Warren paid
= 11 u
= 11 x 8
= $88
Answer(s): $88
