45 of his pay and Harry saved
27 of his pay. Daniel saved $150 more than Harry in a month. How much did Harry save in a month?

Daniel |
Harry |
Before |
5x7 = 35 u |
7x5 = 35 u |
Change |
- 4x7 = - 28 u |
- 2x5 = - 10 u |
After |
1x7 = 7 u |
5x5 = 25 u |
The amount that Daniel and Harry each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.
Amount that Daniel saved more than Harry
= 28 u - 10 u
= 18 u
18 u = 150
1 u = 150 ÷ 18 = 150
Amount that Harry saved in a month
= 10 u
= 10 x 150
= $1500
Answer(s): $1500
