37 The amount that Barbara had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Barbara had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 6.
Total amount given to Barbara and Dylan
= 30 u + 7 u
= 37 u
37 u = 222
1 u = 222 ÷ 37 = 6
Amount that Barbara received from her father
= 30 u
= 30 x 6
= $180
(b)
Amount that Dylan deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 6
= $24
Savings that Dylan had at first = 100%
Savings that Dylan had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 24

2420120% of the savings = 120 x
2420 = 144
Dylan's savings in the end = $144
