37 The amount that Usha had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Usha had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 6.
Total amount given to Usha and Will
= 24 u + 7 u
= 31 u
31 u = 341
1 u = 341 ÷ 31 = 11
Amount that Usha received from her father
= 24 u
= 24 x 11
= $264
(b)
Amount that Will deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 11
= $44
Savings that Will had at first = 100%
Savings that Will had in the end
= 100% + 40%
= 140%
40% of the savings = 44
1% of the savings =
4440140% of the savings = 140 x
4440 = 154
Will's savings in the end = $154
Answer(s): (a) $264; (b) $154
