37 The amount that Tina had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Tina had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Tina and Ian
= 48 u + 7 u
= 55 u
55 u = 495
1 u = 495 ÷ 55 = 9
Amount that Tina received from her father
= 48 u
= 48 x 9
= $432
(b)
Amount that Ian deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 9
= $36
Savings that Ian had at first = 100%
Savings that Ian had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 36
1% of the savings =
3620120% of the savings = 120 x
3620 = 216
Ian's savings in the end = $216
Answer(s): (a) $432; (b) $216
