47 The amount that Hazel had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Hazel had in the end the same. LM of 3 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Hazel and Zane
= 60 u + 7 u
= 67 u
67 u = 670
1 u = 670 ÷ 67 = 10
Amount that Hazel received from her father
= 60 u
= 60 x 10
= $600

Amount that Zane deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 10
= $30
Savings that Zane had at first = 100%
Savings that Zane had in the end
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
25% of the savings = 30
