25 The amount that Jaslyn had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Jaslyn had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 8.
Total amount given to Jaslyn and Charlie
= 40 u + 5 u
= 45 u
45 u = 405
1 u = 405 ÷ 45 = 9
Amount that Jaslyn received from her father
= 40 u
= 40 x 9
= $360
(b)
Amount that Charlie deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= $27
Savings that Charlie had at first = 100%
Savings that Charlie had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 27

2720120% of the savings = 120 x
2720 = 162
Charlie's savings in the end = $162
Answer(s): (a) $360; (b) $162
