47 The amount that Kathy had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Kathy had in the end the same. LM of 3 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Kathy and Ryan
= 60 u + 7 u
= 67 u
67 u = 201
1 u = 201 ÷ 67 = 3
Amount that Kathy received from her father
= 60 u
= 60 x 3
= $180
(b)
Amount that Ryan deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 3
= $9
Savings that Ryan had at first = 100%
Savings that Ryan had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 9

920120% of the savings = 120 x
920 = 54
Ryan's savings in the end = $54
Answer(s): (a) $180; (b) $54
