The total amount paid for the souvenir is repeated. Make the total amount the same. LCM of 13 and 3 is 39.
Amount that Tim, Oliver and Neave paid = 26 u
Amount that Tim and Oliver paid
= 26 u - 18 u
= 8 u
The amount that Tim and Oliver each paid is the same.
Amount that Tim and Oliver each paid
= 8 u ÷ 2
= 4 u
Cost of the souvenir = 39 u
39 u = 273
1 u = 273 ÷ 39 = 7
Amount that Oliver paid
= 4 u
= 4 x 7
= $28
Answer(s): $28
