15 Albert's share : Total share = 1 : 5
The total amount paid for the gift is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 10 and 6 is 30.
Amount that Zeph, Eric and Warren paid = 25 u
Amount that Zeph and Eric paid
= 25 u - 3 u
= 22 u
The amount that Zeph and Eric each paid is the same.
Amount that Zeph and Eric each paid
= 22 u ÷ 2
= 11 u
Cost of the gift = 30 u
30 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 30 = 12
Amount that Eric paid
= 11 u
= 11 x 12
= $132
Answer(s): $132
