15 Flynn's share : Total share = 1 : 5
The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 14 and 6 is 42.
Amount that Reggie, Fabian and Jeremy paid = 35 u
Amount that Reggie and Fabian paid
= 35 u - 15 u
= 20 u
The amount that Reggie and Fabian each paid is the same.
Amount that Reggie and Fabian each paid
= 20 u ÷ 2
= 10 u
Cost of the souvenir = 42 u
42 u = 336
1 u = 336 ÷ 42 = 8
Amount that Fabian paid
= 10 u
= 10 x 8
= $80
Answer(s): $80
