14 Paul's share : Total share = 1 : 4
The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Amount that Bobby, Glen and Brandon paid = 28 u
Amount that Bobby and Glen paid
= 28 u - 10 u
= 18 u
The amount that Bobby and Glen each paid is the same.
Amount that Bobby and Glen each paid
= 18 u ÷ 2
= 9 u
Cost of the souvenir = 35 u
35 u = 245
1 u = 245 ÷ 35 = 7
Amount that Glen paid
= 9 u
= 9 x 7
= $63
Answer(s): $63
