35 The amount that Hazel had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Hazel had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Hazel and Glen
= 48 u + 5 u
= 53 u
53 u = 636
1 u = 636 ÷ 53 = 12
Amount that Hazel received from her father
= 48 u
= 48 x 12
= $576
(b)
Amount that Glen deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 12
= $24
Savings that Glen had at first = 100%
Savings that Glen had in the end
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
40% of the savings = 24

2440140% of the savings = 140 x
2440 = 84
Glen's savings in the end = $84
Answer(s): (a) $576; (b) $84
