4 u |
5 u |
Savings that Henry had last month = 1 u
Savings that Rachel had last month = 1 u
Savings that Henry has this month = 1 u
Savings that Rachel has this month = 4 u
Amount that Rachel saves this month
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 930
1 u = 930 ÷ 3 = 310
Total savings that Henry and Rachel have now
= 4 u + 1 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 310
= $1550
Answer(s): $1550
