| Before |
8x7 =
56 u |
7x8 =
56 u |
| Change |
- 5x7 =
- 35 u |
- 4x8 =
- 32 u |
| After |
3x7 =
21 u |
3x8 =
24 u |
The amount that Gabriel and Julian each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 8 and 7 is 56.
Amount that Gabriel saved more than Julian
= 35 u - 32 u
= 3 u
3 u = 50
1 u = 50 ÷ 3 = 50
Amount that Julian saved in a month
= 32 u
= 32 x 50
= $1600
Answer(s): $1600
