27 The amount that Hilda had in the end is repeated. Make the amount that Hilda had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 8.
Total amount given to Hilda and Zane
= 40 u + 7 u
= 47 u
47 u = 376
1 u = 376 ÷ 47 = 8
Amount that Hilda received from her father
= 40 u
= 40 x 8
= $320
(b)
Amount that Zane deposited
= 5 u
= 5 x 8
= $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) $320; (b) $240
