57 The amount that Emily had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Emily had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 10.
Total amount given to Emily and Glen
= 60 u + 7 u
= 67 u
67 u = 201
1 u = 201 ÷ 67 = 3
Amount that Emily received from her father
= 60 u
= 60 x 3
= $180
(b)
Amount that Glen deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 3
= $6
Savings that Glen had at first = 100%
Savings that Glen had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 6
1% of the savings =
620120% of the savings = 120 x
620 = 36
Glen's savings in the end = $36
Answer(s): (a) $180; (b) $36
