+414 Ali saved 120% as much as Bala. Bala saved 1 1/4 as much as Charles. If Charles saved $120 less than Ali, find the average amount saved by the 2 boys.(help I have 8 hours before my nephews school start)
+128408 120% = 6/5
Call the amount save by Charles = A
The amount saved by Bala = (5/4)A
The amount saved by Ali = (6/5)(5/4)A = (3/2)A
And we're told that
A + 120 = (3/2)A subtract A from both sides
120 = (1/2)A multiply both sides by 2
$240 = A this is what Charles saved
And Baa saved (5/4)(240) = $300
And Ali saved (3/2)A = $360
+128408 120% = 6/5
Call the amount save by Charles = A
The amount saved by Bala = (5/4)A
The amount saved by Ali = (6/5)(5/4)A = (3/2)A
