37 The amount that Usha had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Usha had in the end the same. LM of 2 and 1 is 6.
Total amount given to Usha and Gabriel
= 18 u + 7 u
= 25 u
25 u = 225
1 u = 225 ÷ 25 = 9
Amount that Usha received from her father
= 18 u
= 18 x 9
= $162
(b)
Amount that Gabriel deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 9
= $36
Savings that Gabriel had at first = 100%
Savings that Gabriel had in the end
= 100% + 30%
= 130%
30% of the savings = 36
1% of the savings =
3630130% of the savings = 130 x
3630 = 156
Gabriel's savings in the end = $156
Answer(s): (a) $162; (b) $156
