Jack and Paul shared the total cost of a present for their father. Jack paid $48 more than 2/11 of the cost of the present. The ratio of the amount paid by Jack to the amount paid by Paul was 1:3. How much more did Paul pay for the present than Jack?
x = price
Jack paid 48 + 2/11x
Paul paid 3 times as much
48 + 2/11 x + 3 (48 + 2/11 x) = x
192 = 3/11 x
x = 704
So jack paid 176 <====== you can finish ~!
