110 Tom's savings : Total savings = 1 : 10
Henry's savings = 25 u
25 u = 400
1 u = 400 ÷ 25 = 16
Reggie's savings = 16 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 25 u + 31 u + 8 u
= 64 u
Savings that Reggie had less than the total of the three other boys
= 64 u - 16 u
= 48 u
= 48 x 16
= $768
Answer(s): $768
