6 u |
7 u |
Savings that David had last month = 1 u
Savings that Shiyun had last month = 1 u
Savings that David has this month = 1 u
Savings that Shiyun has this month = 6 u
Amount that Shiyun saves this month
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 1050
1 u = 1050 ÷ 5 = 210
Total savings that David and Shiyun have now
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 210
= $1470
Answer(s): $1470
