Allowance Spent Saved
Ahmad [u][14.30] [–(3/10)(u+14.30)–] [–7/10(u+14.30)–]
Bala [u] [–(3/10)(u+14.30)–][10.20] [ —-? —]
Saved = Allowance – Spent
Bala (Saved) = u – [(3/10)(u+14.30) + 10.20] = u – (3/10)u – (42.9/10) – 10.20
Ahmad(Saved) = 2 x Bala (Saved)
7/10(u+14.30) = 2 { u – (3/10)u – (42.9/10) – 10.20 } <—– x 10 on both sides,
7(u+14.30) = 20u -6u – 85.8 – 204
7u + 100.1 = 14u – 289.8
7u = 389.9
u = 55.70
Bala (Spent) = (3/10)(u+14.30) + 10.20 = (3/10)(55.70+14.30) + 10.20 = 21+10.20 = 31.20
Hence Bala spent $31.20 in a week
