37 The amount that Penelope had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Penelope had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 12.
Total amount given to Penelope and Zane
= 60 u + 7 u
= 67 u
67 u = 670
1 u = 670 ÷ 67 = 10
Amount that Penelope received from her father
= 60 u
= 60 x 10
= $600
(b)
Amount that Zane deposited
= 4 u
= 4 x 10
= $40
Savings that Zane had at first = 100%
Savings that Zane had in the end
= 100% + 20%
= 120%
20% of the savings = 40
1% of the savings =
4020120% of the savings = 120 x
4020 = 240
Zane's savings in the end = $240
Answer(s): (a) $600; (b) $240
