110 Neave's savings : Total savings = 1 : 10
Harry's savings = 35 u
35 u = 1295
1 u = 1295 ÷ 35 = 37
Neave's savings = 8 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 35 u + 29 u + 8 u
= 72 u
Savings that Neave had less than the total of the three other boys
= 72 u - 8 u
= 64 u
= 64 x 37
= $2368
Answer(s): $2368
