310 Will's savings : Total savings = 3 : 10
Dylan's savings = 15 u
15 u = 525
1 u = 525 ÷ 15 = 35
Asher's savings = 4 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 15 u + 9 u + 12 u
= 36 u
Savings that Asher had less than the total of the three other boys
= 36 u - 4 u
= 32 u
= 32 x 35
= $1120
Answer(s): $1120
