Answer:

His savings be $32 and spendings be $112.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let her savings and spending be 2x and 7x.

Total earning is equal to the sum of savings and spending.

ATQ,

2x+7x=144

9x=144

x = 16

Savings = 2x = 2(16) = $32

Spendings = 7x = 7(16) = $112

Hence, his savings be $32 and spendings be $112.
