Today I will share this a question which looks really intimidating at first. However, it is actually really easy to solve. Students tend to get put off by very wordy questions such as this one. Hence, we should encourage students to be patient and to read the question carefully. Encourage them to 'help' the characters in the question. That is one distraction which can be pretty useful at times and to encourage students to read the questions carefully. Hope it helps!

Please help with P5 question. TIA. πAnn, Ben and Calvin shared the cost of a present for their mother. Ann paid 25% of the total share that Ben & Calvin paid. Ben paid 20% of the total share that Ann & Calvin paid. If Calvin paid $35 more than Ben, how much did the present cost?
