14 Caden's share : Total share = 1 : 4
The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 7 and 5 is 35.
Amount that Vaidev, Harry and Andy paid = 28 u
Amount that Vaidev and Harry paid
= 28 u - 10 u
= 18 u
The amount that Vaidev and Harry each paid is the same.
Amount that Vaidev and Harry each paid
= 18 u ÷ 2
= 9 u
Cost of the souvenir = 35 u
35 u = 385
1 u = 385 ÷ 35 = 11
Amount that Harry paid
= 9 u
= 9 x 11
= $99
Answer(s): $99
