Cindy and Perry received $1236 in total from their father. After Cindy spent ⁵₆ of her money and Perry deposited ³₇ of his money into his savings account, Cindy had four times as much money as Perry.

1. Find the amount of money Cindy received from her father.
2. If Perry' savings increased by 25% after the deposit, how much was Perry' savings in the bank in the end?

	Cindy	Perry	Total
Before	6x16 = 96 u	7 u	$1236
Change	- 5x16 = - 80 u	- 3 u
After	1x16 = 16 u	4 u
Comparing Cindy and Perry in the end	4x4	1x4

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

Fraction of Perry's money left
= 1 - ³₇
= ⁴₇

The amount that Cindy had in the end is repeated.  Make the amount that Cindy had in the end the same. LM of 4 and 1 is 16.

Total amount given to Cindy and Perry
= 96 u + 7 u
= 103 u

103 u = 1236

1 u = 1236 ÷ 103 = 12

Amount that Cindy received from her father
= 96 u
= 96 x 12
= $1152

(b)
Amount that Perry deposited
= 3 u
= 3 x 12
= $36

Savings that Perry had at first = 100%

Savings that Perry had in the end
= 100% + 25%
= 125%

25% of the savings = 36
1% of the savings = ³⁶₂₅
125% of the savings = 125 x ³⁶₂₅ = 180

Perry's savings in the end = $180

Answer(s): (a) $1152; (b) $180
