7 u |
Savings that Asher had last month = 1 u
Savings that Opal had last month = 1 u
Savings that Asher has this month = 1 u
Savings that Opal has this month = 6 u
Amount that Opal saves this month
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 1650
1 u = 1650 ÷ 5 = 330
Total savings that Asher and Opal have now
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 330
= $2310
Answer(s): $2310
