110 Jenson's savings : Total savings = 1 : 10
Ben's savings = 14 u
14 u = 196
1 u = 196 ÷ 14 = 14
Vaidev's savings = 6 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 14 u + 7 u + 3 u
= 24 u
Savings that Vaidev had less than the total of the three other boys
= 24 u - 6 u
= 18 u
= 18 x 14
= $252
Answer(s): $252
