25 Dylan's savings : Total savings = 2 : 5
Brandon's savings = 15 u
15 u = 345
1 u = 345 ÷ 15 = 23
Dylan's savings = 28 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 15 u + 13 u + 14 u
= 42 u
Savings that Dylan had less than the total of the three other boys
= 42 u - 28 u
= 14 u
= 14 x 23
= $322
Answer(s): $322
