14 Dylan's savings : Total savings = 1 : 4
Riordan's savings = 24 u
24 u = 960
1 u = 960 ÷ 24 = 40
Simon's savings = 17 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 24 u + 10 u + 17 u
= 51 u
Savings that Simon had less than the total of the three other boys
= 51 u - 17 u
= 34 u
= 34 x 40
= $1360
Answer(s): $1360
