5 u |
6 u |
Savings that Bobby had last month = 1 u
Savings that Yoko had last month = 1 u
Savings that Bobby has this month = 1 u
Savings that Yoko has this month = 5 u
Amount that Yoko saves this month
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 560
1 u = 560 ÷ 4 = 140
Total savings that Bobby and Yoko have now
= 5 u + 1 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 140
= $840
Answer(s): $840
