Solution

Let's denote the savings of Keddy, Cheko, and Miko as K K , C C , and M M respectively.

  1. From the problem, we have the following equations: K+C=329 K + C = 329 K+M=529 K + M = 529

  2. We are also given the ratio of Cheko to Miko's savings: CM=27 \frac{C}{M} = \frac{2}{7} This implies: 7C=2MorM=72C 7C = 2M \quad \text{or} \quad M = \frac{7}{2}C

  3. Substitute M M from the ratio into the second equation: K+72C=529 K + \frac{7}{2}C = 529

  4. Now we have two equations: K+C=329(Equation 1) K + C = 329 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} K+72C=529(Equation 2) K + \frac{7}{2}C = 529 \quad \text{(Equation 2)}

  5. Subtract Equation 1 from Equation 2 to eliminate K K : (K+72C)(K+C)=529329 \left( K + \frac{7}{2}C \right) - (K + C) = 529 - 329 72CC=200 \frac{7}{2}C - C = 200 52C=200 \frac{5}{2}C = 200 C=200×25 C = 200 \times \frac{2}{5} C=80 C = 80

  6. Substitute C=80 C = 80 back into Equation 1 to find K K : K+80=329 K + 80 = 329 K=32980 K = 329 - 80 K=249 K = 249

Therefore, Keddy has $249.
