37 The amount that Lynn had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Lynn had in the end the same. LM of 3 and 1 is 9.
Total amount given to Lynn and Daniel
= 45 u + 7 u
= 52 u
52 u = 468
1 u = 468 ÷ 52 = 9
Amount that Lynn received from her father
= 45 u
= 45 x 9
= $405
(b)
Amount that Daniel deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 9
= $36
Savings that Daniel had at first = 100%
Savings that Daniel had in the end
= 100% + 30%
= 130%
30% of the savings = 36
1% of the savings =
3630130% of the savings = 130 x
3630 = 156
Daniel's savings in the end = $156
Answer(s): (a) $405; (b) $156
