The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 9 and 3 is 9.
Amount that Tim, Glen and Xavier paid = 6 u
Amount that Tim and Glen paid
= 6 u - 4 u
= 2 u
The amount that Tim and Glen each paid is the same.
Amount that Tim and Glen each paid
= 2 u ÷ 2
= 1 u
Cost of the souvenir = 9 u
9 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 9 = 6
Amount that Glen paid
= 1 u
= 1 x 6
= $6
Answer(s): $6
