Luke and Vaidev earned the same amount each month. Luke saved
56 of his pay and Vaidev saved
25 of his pay. Luke saved $170 more than Vaidev in a month. How much did Vaidev save in a month?

Luke |
Vaidev |
Before |
6x5 = 30 u |
5x6 = 30 u |
Change |
- 5x5 = - 25 u |
- 2x6 = - 12 u |
After |
1x5 = 5 u |
3x6 = 18 u |
The amount that Luke and Vaidev each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 6 and 5 is 30.
Amount that Luke saved more than Vaidev
= 25 u - 12 u
= 13 u
13 u = 170
1 u = 170 ÷ 13 = 170
Amount that Vaidev saved in a month
= 12 u
= 12 x 170
= $2040
Answer(s): $2040
