12 Glen's share : Total share = 1 : 2
The total amount paid for the gift is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 13 and 3 is 39.
Amount that Jenson, Gabriel and Mark paid = 26 u
Amount that Jenson and Gabriel paid
= 26 u - 12 u
= 14 u
The amount that Jenson and Gabriel each paid is the same.
Amount that Jenson and Gabriel each paid
= 14 u ÷ 2
= 7 u
Cost of the gift = 39 u
39 u = 351
1 u = 351 ÷ 39 = 9
Amount that Gabriel paid
= 7 u
= 7 x 9
= $63
Answer(s): $63
