12 Bobby's share : Total share = 1 : 2
The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 13 and 3 is 39.
Amount that Xavier, Henry and Fabian paid = 26 u
Amount that Xavier and Henry paid
= 26 u - 12 u
= 14 u
The amount that Xavier and Henry each paid is the same.
Amount that Xavier and Henry each paid
= 14 u ÷ 2
= 7 u
Cost of the souvenir = 39 u
39 u = 468
1 u = 468 ÷ 39 = 12
Amount that Henry paid
= 7 u
= 7 x 12
= $84
Answer(s): $84
