Total amount given to Sarah and Julian
= 27 u + 5 u
= 32 u
32 u = 192
1 u = 192 ÷ 32 = 6
Amount that Sarah received from her father
= 27 u
= 27 x 6
= $162
(b)
Amount that Julian deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 6
= $12
Savings that Julian had at first = 100%
Savings that Julian had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 12
