Brandon, Vaidev, Zane and Ahmad paid a total of $385 for a present. Ahmad paid ²₅ of what the rest paid. Brandon paid 25% of what the rest paid. Vaidev and Zane paid an equal amount of money. How much did Zane pay?

Brandon	Vaidev	Zane	Ahmad	Total
5x5			2x5	7x5
1x7	4x7			5x7
	1	1
7 u	9 u	9 u	10 u	35 u

25%= ²⁵₁₀₀= ¹₄
Brandon's share : Total share = 1 : 4

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

Amount that Vaidev, Zane and Ahmad paid = 28 u

Amount that Vaidev and Zane paid
= 28 u - 10 u
= 18 u

The amount that Vaidev and Zane each paid is the same.

Amount that Vaidev and Zane each paid
= 18 u ÷ 2
= 9 u

Cost of the present = 35 u

35 u = 385

1 u = 385 ÷ 35 = 11

Amount that Zane paid
= 9 u
= 9 x 11
= $99

Answer(s): $99
