15 Paul's share : Total share = 1 : 5
The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 10 and 6 is 30.
Amount that Warren, Tommy and Julian paid = 25 u
Amount that Warren and Tommy paid
= 25 u - 3 u
= 22 u
The amount that Warren and Tommy each paid is the same.
Amount that Warren and Tommy each paid
= 22 u ÷ 2
= 11 u
Cost of the souvenir = 30 u
30 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 30 = 4
Amount that Tommy paid
= 11 u
= 11 x 4
= $44
Answer(s): $44
