110 Owen's savings : Total savings = 1 : 10
Archie's savings = 25 u
25 u = 975
1 u = 975 ÷ 25 = 39
Owen's savings = 7 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 25 u + 24 u + 14 u
= 63 u
Savings that Owen had less than the total of the three other boys
= 63 u - 7 u
= 56 u
= 56 x 39
= $2184
Answer(s): $2184
