15 Ivan's share : Total share = 1 : 5
The total amount paid for the gift is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 10 and 6 is 30.
Amount that Tommy, Rael and Lee paid = 25 u
Amount that Tommy and Rael paid
= 25 u - 3 u
= 22 u
The amount that Tommy and Rael each paid is the same.
Amount that Tommy and Rael each paid
= 22 u ÷ 2
= 11 u
Cost of the gift = 30 u
30 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 30 = 10
Amount that Rael paid
= 11 u
= 11 x 10
= $110
Answer(s): $110
