The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 13 and 3 is 39.
Amount that Glen, Fred and Jack paid = 26 u
Amount that Glen and Fred paid
= 26 u - 12 u
= 14 u
The amount that Glen and Fred each paid is the same.
Amount that Glen and Fred each paid
= 14 u ÷ 2
= 7 u
Cost of the souvenir = 39 u
39 u = 78
1 u = 78 ÷ 39 = 2
Amount that Fred paid
= 7 u
= 7 x 2
= $14
Answer(s): $14
