310 Flynn's savings : Total savings = 3 : 10
Archie's savings = 30 u
30 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 30 = 10
Ken's savings = 11 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 30 u + 36 u + 33 u
= 99 u
Savings that Ken had less than the total of the three other boys
= 99 u - 11 u
= 88 u
= 88 x 10
= $880
Answer(s): $880
