Last week, Hazel had four times as much savings as Flynn. This week, Flynn saves $1210. As a result, he now has thrice as much savings as Hazel. What is their total savings now?

| Before |
4 u |
1 u |

+ $1210 |
|
| After |
1x4 =
4 u |
3x4 =
12 u |
16 u |
The amount of savings that Hazel has at first and in the end remains unchanged. Make the amount of savings that Hazel has the same. LCM of 4 and 1 is 4.
Amount that Flynn saved
= 12 u - 1 u
= 11 u
11 u = 1210
1 u = 1210 ÷ 11 = 110
Total savings now
= 4 u + 12 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 110
= $1760
Answer(s): $1760
