25 Japheth's savings : Total savings = 2 : 5
Wesley's savings = 15 u
15 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 15 = 14
Cody's savings = 14 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 15 u + 13 u + 28 u
= 56 u
Savings that Cody had less than the total of the three other boys
= 56 u - 14 u
= 42 u
= 42 x 14
= $588
Answer(s): $588
