Gabby and Glen received $291 in total from their father. After Gabby spent ⁵₆ of her money and Glen deposited ²₇ of his money into his savings account, Gabby had thrice as much money as Glen.

1. Find the amount of money Gabby received from her father.
2. If Glen' savings increased by 25% after the deposit, how much was Glen' savings in the bank in the end?

	Gabby	Glen	Total
Before	6x15 = 90 u	7 u	$291
Change	- 5x15 = - 75 u	- 2 u
After	1x15 = 15 u	5 u
Comparing Gabby and Glen in the end	3x5	1x5

Fraction of Gabby's money left
= 1 - ⁵₆
= ¹₆

Fraction of Glen's money left
= 1 - ²₇
= ⁵₇

The amount that Gabby had in the end is repeated.  Make the amount that Gabby had in the end the same. LM of 3 and 1 is 15.

Total amount given to Gabby and Glen
= 90 u + 7 u
= 97 u

97 u = 291

1 u = 291 ÷ 97 = 3

Amount that Gabby received from her father
= 90 u
= 90 x 3
= $270

(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% + 25%
= 125%

25% of the savings = 6
1% of the savings = ⁶₂₅
125% of the savings = 125 x ⁶₂₅ = 30

Glen's savings in the end = $30

Answer(s): (a) $270; (b) $30
