37 The amount that Eva had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Eva had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 6.
Total amount given to Eva and Eric
= 18 u + 7 u
= 25 u
25 u = 100
1 u = 100 ÷ 25 = 4
Amount that Eva received from her father
= 18 u
= 18 x 4
= $72
(b)
Amount that Eric deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 4
= $16
Savings that Eric had at first = 100%
Savings that Eric had in the end
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
25% of the savings = 16
1% of the savings =
1625125% of the savings = 125 x
1625 = 80
Eric's savings in the end = $80
Answer(s): (a) $72; (b) $80
