Solution

To solve this problem, we need to follow these steps:

  1. Determine the total value of the ratio. In this case, it's 3 (Faye's part) + 7 (Mina's part) = 10 parts.

  2. Determine the value of each part. Since Mina's savings represent 7 parts of the total, we divide her savings by 7. So, 462/7=462 / 7 = 66 per part.

  3. Determine Faye's savings. Since Faye's savings represent 3 parts of the total, we multiply the value of each part by 3. So, 663=66 * 3 = 198.

  4. To make their savings equal, Mina needs to give Faye the difference between her savings and Faye's savings. So, 462(Minassavings)462 (Mina's savings) - 198 (Faye's savings) = $264.

Therefore, Mina must give $264 to Faye so that both will have the same amount.
