15 Ben'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 Ivan, Cole and Dylan paid = 25 u
Amount that Ivan and Cole paid
= 25 u - 3 u
= 22 u
The amount that Ivan and Cole each paid is the same.
Amount that Ivan and Cole each paid
= 22 u ÷ 2
= 11 u
Cost of the gift = 30 u
30 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 30 = 7
Amount that Cole paid
= 11 u
= 11 x 7
= $77
Answer(s): $77
