Part a) Wayen's saving before he spend $28 is $30
Part b) Steph's saving after she spend $28 is $8
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of Wayen's saving to stephs saving: 5:5
After spending $28
Ratio of Wayen's saving to Stephs saving: 1:4
We can write ratio as:
[tex]\frac{W}{S}=\frac{5}{6}\\Cross\,\,multiply\\6W=5S\,\,eq(1)[/tex]
After spending $28
[tex]\frac{W-28}{S-28}=\frac{1}{4}\\Cross\,\,multiply\\4(W-28)=S-28\,\,eq(2)[/tex]
Part a) Find Wayen's saving before he spend $28
Using both equations to find value of W
Putting value of S from eq(1) into eq(2)
6W/5=S
[tex]4W-112+28=S\\4W-84=S\\Putting\,\,value\,\,of\,\,S\\4W-84=\frac{6W}{5}\\ Multiply\,\,both\,\,sides\,\,by\,\,5\\20W-420=6W\\20W-6W=420\\14W=420\\W=420/14\\W=30[/tex]
So, Wayen's saving before he spend $28 is $30
Part b) Find Steph's saving after she spend $28
First Steph's saving before spending $28 is:
[tex]S=\frac{6W}{5}\\S=\frac{6*30}{5} \\S=36[/tex]
Now, After spending $28
S-28 we get:
36-28= $8
So, Steph's saving after she spend $28 is $8
