310 Valen's savings : Total savings = 3 : 10
Elijah's savings = 15 u
15 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 15 = 20
Asher's savings = 12 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 15 u + 1 u + 12 u
= 28 u
Savings that Asher had less than the total of the three other boys
= 28 u - 12 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 20
= $320
Answer(s): $320
