Savings that Japheth had last month = 1 u
Savings that Ivory had last month = 1 u
Savings that Japheth has this month = 1 u
Savings that Ivory has this month = 5 u
Amount that Ivory saves this month
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 1320
1 u = 1320 ÷ 4 = 330
Total savings that Japheth and Ivory have now
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 330
= $1980
Answer(s): $1980
