Gabby and Seth received $385 in total from their father. After Gabby spent ⁵₆ of her money and Seth deposited ²₅ of his money into his savings account, Gabby had four times as much money as Seth.

1. Find the amount of money Gabby received from her father.
2. If Seth' savings increased by 40% after the deposit, how much was Seth' savings in the bank in the end?

	Gabby	Seth	Total
Before	6x12 = 72 u	5 u	$385
Change	- 5x12 = - 60 u	- 2 u
After	1x12 = 12 u	3 u
Comparing Gabby and Seth in the end	4x3	1x3

Fraction of Gabby's money left
= 1 - ⁵₆
= ¹₆

Fraction of Seth's money left
= 1 - ²₅
= ³₅

The amount that Gabby had in the end is repeated.  Make the amount that Gabby had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 12.

Total amount given to Gabby and Seth
= 72 u + 5 u
= 77 u

77 u = 385

1 u = 385 ÷ 77 = 5

Amount that Gabby received from her father
= 72 u
= 72 x 5
= $360

(b)
Amount that Seth deposited
= 2 u
= 2 x 5
= $10

Savings that Seth had at first = 100%

Savings that Seth had in the end
= 100% + 40%
= 140%

40% of the savings = 10
1% of the savings = ¹⁰₄₀
140% of the savings = 140 x ¹⁰₄₀ = 35

Seth's savings in the end = $35

Answer(s): (a) $360; (b) $35
