37 of his pay. Caden saved $170 more than Vincent in a month. How much did Vincent save in a month?

Caden |
Vincent |
Before |
5x7 = 35 u |
7x5 = 35 u |
Change |
- 4x7 = - 28 u |
- 3x5 = - 15 u |
After |
1x7 = 7 u |
4x5 = 20 u |
The amount that Caden and Vincent each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.
Amount that Caden saved more than Vincent
= 28 u - 15 u
= 13 u
13 u = 170
1 u = 170 ÷ 13 = 170
Amount that Vincent saved in a month
= 15 u
= 15 x 170
= $2550
Answer(s): $2550
