12 Neave's share : Total share = 1 : 2
The total amount paid for the gift is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 9 and 3 is 9.
Amount that Ben, Flynn and Fabian paid = 6 u
Amount that Ben and Flynn paid
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
The amount that Ben and Flynn each paid is the same.
Amount that Ben and Flynn each paid
= 2 u ÷ 2
= 1 u
Cost of the gift = 9 u
9 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 9 = 12
Amount that Flynn paid
= 1 u
= 1 x 12
= $12
Answer(s): $12
