Question

11. Vishal and Nathan intend to buy a present for their classmate. Vishal agrees to pay $50 more than Nathan.
Given that the present costs not more than $220, what is the greatest amount Vishal has to pay?​

Answer 1

Answer:

135$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume total present cost = 220$

Let Nathan pays = x$

Then Nathan will pay = (x+50)$

So,

x$ + (x+50)$ = 220$

x = 85$

So Vishal had paid = (85+50)$ = 135$
