Fabian, Tommy, Japheth and Luis paid a total of $245 for a souvenir. Luis paid ¹₄ of what the rest paid. Fabian paid 40% of what the rest paid. Tommy and Japheth paid an equal amount of money. How much did Japheth pay?

Fabian	Tommy	Japheth	Luis	Total
4x7			1x7	5x7
2x5	5x5			7x5
	1	1
10 u	9 u	9 u	7 u	35 u

40%= ⁴⁰₁₀₀= ²₅
Fabian's share : Total share = 2 : 5

The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated.  Make the total amount the same.  LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.

Amount that Tommy, Japheth and Luis paid = 25 u

Amount that Tommy and Japheth paid
= 25 u - 7 u
= 18 u

The amount that Tommy and Japheth each paid is the same.

Amount that Tommy and Japheth each paid
= 18 u ÷ 2
= 9 u

Cost of the souvenir = 35 u

35 u = 245

1 u = 245 ÷ 35 = 7

Amount that Japheth paid
= 9 u
= 9 x 7
= $63

Answer(s): $63
