47 The amount that Yen had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Yen had in the end the same. LM of 3 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Yen and Asher
= 60 u + 7 u
= 67 u
67 u = 603
1 u = 603 ÷ 67 = 9
Amount that Yen received from her father
= 60 u
= 60 x 9
= $540

Amount that Asher deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 9
= $27
Savings that Asher had at first = 100%
Savings that Asher had in the end
= 100% + 30%
= 130%
