25 The amount that Winnie had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Winnie had in the end the same. LM of 3 and 1 is 6.
Total amount given to Winnie and Tim
= 30 u + 5 u
= 35 u
35 u = 245
1 u = 245 ÷ 35 = 7
Amount that Winnie received from her father
= 30 u
= 30 x 7
= $210
(b)
Amount that Tim deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 7
= $21
Savings that Tim had at first = 100%
Savings that Tim had in the end
= 100% + 25%
= 125%
25% of the savings = 21

2125125% of the savings = 125 x
2125 = 105
Tim's savings in the end = $105
