| Before |
8x7 =
56 u |
7x8 =
56 u |
| Change |
- 5x7 =
- 35 u |
- 3x8 =
- 24 u |
| After |
3x7 =
21 u |
4x8 =
32 u |
The amount that Nick and Tim each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 8 and 7 is 56.
Amount that Nick saved more than Tim
= 35 u - 24 u
= 11 u
11 u = 140
1 u = 140 ÷ 11 = 140
Amount that Tim saved in a month
= 24 u
= 24 x 140
= $3360
Answer(s): $3360
