Total amount given to Jaslyn and Reggie
= 60 u + 7 u
= 67 u
67 u = 737
1 u = 737 ÷ 67 = 11
Amount that Jaslyn received from her father
= 60 u
= 60 x 11
= $660
(b)
Amount that Reggie deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 11
= $22
Savings that Reggie had at first = 100%
Savings that Reggie had in the end
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
25% of the savings = 22

2225125% of the savings = 125 x
2225 = 110
Reggie's savings in the end = $110
Answer(s): (a) $660; (b) $110
