Question

Leanne Raymond Montel and Emily body gift for their soccer coach the total cost of the gift including tax was $55.80 Montel paid $14 Raymond paid one-third of the cost Emily pay 25% of the cost and Leanne paid the remaining cost who paid the greatest part of the cost

Answer 1

Solution: The total cost of the gift including the tax = $55.80

The amount paid by Montel = $14

The amount paid by Raymond is

$\frac{1}{3} \times 55.80$

$18.6$

Therefore, Raymond paid $18.6

The amount paid by Emily is

25% of 55.80

$0.25 \times 55.80 = 13.95$

Therefore, Emily paid $13.95

We also know that the remaining amount is paid by Leanne.

Therefore, the remaining amount is:

Total amount - Amount paid by Montel, Raymond and Emily

$55.80 -(14+18.6+13.95)$

$55.80 - 46.55$

$9.25$

The amount paid by Leanne is $9.25

We clearly see, Raymond has paid $18.6, which is the greatest part of the cost $55.80
