Sam has saved twice as much as Mick,but only one-fifth as much as Benji.If Mick has saved £23,how much has Benji saved?

s = 2 m

s = b/5

but
m = 23
so
s = 2 m = 46
but
b = 5s
so
b = 230

Thanks

You are welcome.

To find out how much Benji has saved, we can follow these steps:

Step 1: Let's assume that Sam has saved S amount, Mick has saved M amount, and Benji has saved B amount.

Step 2: It is given that Sam has saved twice as much as Mick. So we can write the equation: S = 2M.

Step 3: It is also given that Sam has saved only one-fifth as much as Benji. So we can write the equation: S = (1/5)B.

Step 4: We are given that Mick has saved £23. So we can substitute this value for M in the equation S = 2M and solve for S: S = 2 * £23 = £46.

Step 5: Now, we can substitute the value of S from the equation S = (1/5)B: £46 = (1/5)B.

Step 6: Multiply both sides of the equation by 5 to isolate B: 5 * £46 = B.
B = £230.

Therefore, Benji has saved £230.
