310 Caden's savings : Total savings = 3 : 10
Valen's savings = 10 u
10 u = 260
1 u = 260 ÷ 10 = 26
Fabian's savings = 3 u
Savings of the other three boys
= 10 u + 8 u + 9 u
= 27 u
Savings that Fabian had less than the total of the three other boys
= 27 u - 3 u
= 24 u
= 24 x 26
= $624
Answer(s): $624
