310 Japheth's savings : Total savings = 3 : 10
Luke's savings = 25 u
25 u = 975
1 u = 975 ÷ 25 = 39
Howard's savings = 16 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 25 u + 15 u + 24 u
= 64 u
Savings that Howard had less than the total of the three other boys
= 64 u - 16 u
= 48 u
= 48 x 39
= $1872
Answer(s): $1872
