310 Valen's savings : Total savings = 3 : 10
Rael's savings = 25 u
25 u = 1000
1 u = 1000 ÷ 25 = 40
Reggie's savings = 12 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 25 u + 5 u + 18 u
= 48 u
Savings that Reggie had less than the total of the three other boys
= 48 u - 12 u
= 36 u
= 36 x 40
= $1440
Answer(s): $1440
