7 u |
Savings that Japheth had last month = 1 u
Savings that Roshel had last month = 1 u
Savings that Japheth has this month = 1 u
Savings that Roshel has this month = 6 u
Amount that Roshel saves this month
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 2000
1 u = 2000 ÷ 5 = 400
Total savings that Japheth and Roshel have now
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 400
= $2800
Answer(s): $2800
