Bryan |
Vaidev |
| Before |
4x5 =
20 u |
5x4 =
20 u |
| Change |
- 3x5 =
- 15 u |
- 3x4 =
- 12 u |
| After |
1x5 =
5 u |
2x4 =
8 u |
The amount that Bryan and Vaidev each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
Amount that Bryan saved more than Vaidev
= 15 u - 12 u
= 3 u
3 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 3 = 200
Amount that Vaidev saved in a month
= 12 u
= 12 x 200
= $2400
Answer(s): $2400
