47 The amount that Lucy had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Lucy had in the end the same. LM of 3 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Lucy and Dylan
= 36 u + 7 u
= 43 u
43 u = 473
1 u = 473 ÷ 43 = 11
Amount that Lucy received from her father

= 36 x 11
= $396

Amount that Dylan deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 11
= $33
Savings that Dylan had at first = 100%
Savings that Dylan had in the end
= 100% + 20%
