25 The amount that Eva had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Eva had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 4.
Total amount given to Eva and Fred
= 20 u + 5 u
= 25 u
25 u = 75
1 u = 75 ÷ 25 = 3
Amount that Eva received from her father
= 20 u
= 20 x 3
= $60
(b)
Amount that Fred deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 3
= $9
Savings that Fred had at first = 100%
Savings that Fred had in the end
= 100% + 30%
= 130%
30% of the savings = 9
1% of the savings =
930130% of the savings = 130 x
930 = 39
Fred's savings in the end = $39
Answer(s): (a) $60; (b) $39
