14 Peter's savings : Total savings = 1 : 4
Asher's savings = 16 u
16 u = 416
1 u = 416 ÷ 16 = 26
Vincent's savings = 9 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 16 u + 2 u + 9 u
= 27 u
Savings that Vincent had less than the total of the three other boys
= 27 u - 9 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 26
= $468
Answer(s): $468
