25 The amount that Risa had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Risa had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 8.
Total amount given to Risa and Riordan
= 24 u + 5 u
= 29 u
29 u = 116
1 u = 116 ÷ 29 = 4
Amount that Risa received from her father
= 24 u
= 24 x 4
= $96

Amount that Riordan deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 4
= $12
Savings that Riordan had at first = 100%
Savings that Riordan had in the end
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
