110 Zane's savings : Total savings = 1 : 10
Paul's savings = 30 u
30 u = 810
1 u = 810 ÷ 30 = 27
Zane's savings = 11 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 30 u + 47 u + 22 u
= 99 u
Savings that Zane had less than the total of the three other boys
= 99 u - 11 u
= 88 u
= 88 x 27
= $2376
Answer(s): $2376
