4 u |
Savings that Daniel had last month = 1 u
Savings that Xylia had last month = 1 u
Savings that Daniel has this month = 1 u
Savings that Xylia has this month = 3 u
Amount that Xylia saves this month
= 3 u - 1 u
= 2 u
2 u = 380
1 u = 380 ÷ 2 = 190
Total savings that Daniel and Xylia have now
= 3 u + 1 u
= 4 u
= 4 x 190
= $760
Answer(s): $760
