37 The amount that Shiyun had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Shiyun had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 6.
Total amount given to Shiyun and Albert
= 36 u + 7 u
= 43 u
43 u = 516
1 u = 516 ÷ 43 = 12
Amount that Shiyun received from her father
= 36 u
= 36 x 12
= $432
(b)
Amount that Albert deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 12
= $48
Savings that Albert had at first = 100%
Savings that Albert had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 48
1% of the savings =
4820120% of the savings = 120 x
4820 = 288
Albert's savings in the end = $288
Answer(s): (a) $432; (b) $288
