12 Andy's share : Total share = 1 : 2
The total amount paid for the present is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 11 and 3 is 33.
Amount that Glen, Albert and Sam paid = 22 u
Amount that Glen and Albert paid
= 22 u - 12 u
= 10 u
The amount that Glen and Albert each paid is the same.
Amount that Glen and Albert each paid
= 10 u ÷ 2
= 5 u
Cost of the present = 33 u
33 u = 396
1 u = 396 ÷ 33 = 12
Amount that Albert paid
= 5 u
= 5 x 12
= $60
Answer(s): $60
