37 The amount that Jade had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Jade had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Jade and Dylan
= 60 u + 7 u
= 67 u
67 u = 670
1 u = 670 ÷ 67 = 10
Amount that Jade received from her father
= 60 u
= 60 x 10
= $600
(b)
Amount that Dylan deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= $40
Savings that Dylan had at first = 100%
Savings that Dylan had in the end
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
40% of the savings = 40

4040 = 140
Dylan's savings in the end = $140
