Total amount given to Raeann and Carl
= 80 u + 7 u
= 87 u
87 u = 174
1 u = 174 ÷ 87 = 2
Amount that Raeann received from her father
= 80 u
= 80 x 2
= $160

Amount that Carl deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 2
= $4
Savings that Carl had at first = 100%
Savings that Carl had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 4
