Answer :
The cost of the gift is $38.75
Here, we want to get the cost of the gift
From the question, we are told that the amount the aunty gave is 2/5 of the cost
Since we do not know the amount of the gift, let us call it $x
Mathematically;
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{2}{5}\times\text{ x = 15.50} \\ \\ 2\times\text{ x = 5}\times15.5 \\ x\text{ = }\frac{5\times15.5}{2} \\ x\text{ = \$38.75} \end{gathered}[/tex]
