Aunt and uncle bought Katy's skis together. They were 3:2 for the entire price of the skis. Uncle contributed 60 euros. How many euros did Katy's skis cost?

Correct answer:

x =  150 Eur

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} T:S=3:2=3x:2x \\ S=60\text{Eur} \\ S=2x \\ x=S/2=60/2=150\text{Eur} \\ T=3\cdot x=3\cdot 150=90\text{Eur} \\ x=T+S=90+60=150\text{Eur} \end{gathered}$$
