Vincent |
Albert |
Before |
8x5 = 40 u |
5x8 = 40 u |
Change |
- 5x5 = - 25 u |
- 2x8 = - 16 u |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
3x8 = 24 u |
The amount that Vincent and Albert each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 8 and 5 is 40.
Amount that Vincent saved more than Albert
= 25 u - 16 u
= 9 u
9 u = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 9 = 130
Amount that Albert saved in a month
= 16 u
= 16 x 130
= $2080
Answer(s): $2080
