12 Will's share : Total share = 1 : 2
The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 13 and 3 is 39.
Amount that Peter, Cole and Glen paid = 26 u
Amount that Peter and Cole paid
= 26 u - 18 u
= 8 u
The amount that Peter and Cole each paid is the same.
Amount that Peter and Cole each paid
= 8 u ÷ 2
= 4 u
Cost of the souvenir = 39 u
39 u = 234
1 u = 234 ÷ 39 = 6
Amount that Cole paid
= 4 u
= 4 x 6
= $24
Answer(s): $24
