15 Fabian's share : Total share = 1 : 5
The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 14 and 6 is 42.
Amount that Neave, Julian and Harry paid = 35 u
Amount that Neave and Julian paid
= 35 u - 15 u
= 20 u
The amount that Neave and Julian each paid is the same.
Amount that Neave and Julian each paid
= 20 u ÷ 2
= 10 u
Cost of the souvenir = 42 u
42 u = 378
1 u = 378 ÷ 42 = 9
Amount that Julian paid
= 10 u
= 10 x 9
= $90
Answer(s): $90
