Zane, Archie, Elijah and John paid a total of $350 for a souvenir. John paid ²₅ of what the rest paid. Zane paid 25% of what the rest paid. Archie and Elijah paid an equal amount of money. How much did Elijah pay?

Zane	Archie	Elijah	John	Total
5x5			2x5	7x5
1x7	4x7			5x7
	1	1
7 u	9 u	9 u	10 u	35 u

25%= ²⁵₁₀₀= ¹₄
Zane'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 Archie, Elijah and John paid = 28 u

Amount that Archie and Elijah paid
= 28 u - 10 u
= 18 u

The amount that Archie and Elijah each paid is the same.

Amount that Archie and Elijah each paid
= 18 u ÷ 2
= 9 u

Cost of the souvenir = 35 u

35 u = 350

1 u = 350 ÷ 35 = 10

Amount that Elijah paid
= 9 u
= 9 x 10
= $90

Answer(s): $90
