Mark |
Before |
6x7 = 42 u |
7x6 = 42 u |
Change |
- 5x7 = - 35 u |
- 4x6 = - 24 u |
After |
1x7 = 7 u |
3x6 = 18 u |
The amount that Neave and Mark each earned in a month is the same. Make the amount the same. LCM of 6 and 7 is 42.
Amount that Neave saved more than Mark
= 35 u - 24 u
= 11 u
11 u = 130
1 u = 130 ÷ 11 = 130
Amount that Mark saved in a month
= 24 u
= 24 x 130
= $3120
Answer(s): $3120
