35 The amount that Gillian had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Gillian had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 6.
Total amount given to Gillian and Ivan
= 24 u + 5 u
= 29 u
29 u = 174
1 u = 174 ÷ 29 = 6
Amount that Gillian received from her father
= 24 u
= 24 x 6
= $144
(b)
Amount that Ivan deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 6
= $12
Savings that Ivan had at first = 100%
Savings that Ivan had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 12

1220 = 72
Ivan's savings in the end = $72
