12 Ivan'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 Jack, Harry and Nick paid = 22 u
Amount that Jack and Harry paid
= 22 u - 12 u
= 10 u
The amount that Jack and Harry each paid is the same.
Amount that Jack and Harry each paid
= 10 u ÷ 2
= 5 u
Cost of the present = 33 u
33 u = 198
1 u = 198 ÷ 33 = 6
Amount that Harry paid
= 5 u
= 5 x 6
= $30
Answer(s): $30
