14 Gabriel's savings : Total savings = 1 : 4
Michael's savings = 8 u
8 u = 168
1 u = 168 ÷ 8 = 21
Gabriel's savings = 5 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 8 u + 2 u + 5 u
= 15 u
Savings that Gabriel had less than the total of the three other boys
= 15 u - 5 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 21
= $210
Answer(s): $210
