Last week, Zoe had twice as much savings as Flynn. This week, Flynn saves $560. As a result, he now has four times as much savings as Zoe. What is their total savings now?

+ $560 |

| After |
1x2 =
2 u |
4x2 =
8 u |
10 u |
The amount of savings that Zoe has at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the amount of savings that Zoe has the same. LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
Amount that Flynn saved
= 8 u - 1 u
= 7 u
7 u = 560
1 u = 560 ÷ 7 = 80
Total savings now
= 2 u + 8 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 80
= $800
Answer(s): $800
