Plz can any one help me to solve this question which is attached...
Can you write it down... Pic is not opening showing error
Anny, Lewis, and Karin pooled their funds to buy a gift for a friend. Anny contributed $2 less than of the cost of the gift and Lewis contributed $2 more than of the cost. If Karin contributed the remaining $15, what was the cost of the gift?
Let the cost of the give be $x Contribution of A1 = (x/3) – 2 Contribution of Lew = (x/4) + 2 Contribution of Karen = $15 So we can say that (x/3) – 2 + (x/4) + 2 + 15 = x on solving equation we get that x = $36 Got it.... Must Visit my Page on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DevanshGaurOfficial
Contribution of Lew = (x/4) + 2 I did not understood this line...
Then It must be (x/3)+2 why (x/4)+2...?
