15 Warren's share : Total share = 1 : 5
The total amount paid for the present is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 14 and 6 is 42.
Amount that Asher, Harry and Vaidev paid = 35 u
Amount that Asher and Harry paid
= 35 u - 15 u
= 20 u
The amount that Asher and Harry each paid is the same.
Amount that Asher and Harry each paid
= 20 u ÷ 2
= 10 u
Cost of the present = 42 u
42 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 42 = 5
Amount that Harry paid
= 10 u
= 10 x 5
= $50
Answer(s): $50
