110 Harry's savings : Total savings = 1 : 10
Brandon's savings = 20 u
20 u = 440
1 u = 440 ÷ 20 = 22
Harry's savings = 11 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 20 u + 68 u + 11 u
= 99 u
Savings that Harry had less than the total of the three other boys
= 99 u - 11 u
= 88 u
= 88 x 22
= $1936
Answer(s): $1936
