Thomas has been saving $40 in the bank every month for six years. His friend Joseph has been saving 2/5 times less money per month. How much money are they having in their savings account altogether?
Thomas has been saving for six years, and since each year has 12 months, he has been making savings for 6*12 = <<6*12=72>>72 months.
Since Thomas has been saving $40 in the bank every month for six years, he has saved 72*$40 = $<<72*40=2880>>2880
Joseph has been saving 2/5 times less money per month than Thomas, meaning he has been saving 2/5*$40 = $<<2/5*40=16>>16 less per month.
The total amount of money that Joseph has been saving per month is $40-$16 = $<<40-16=24>>24
In six years, Joseph has saved $24*72 = $<<24*72=1728>>1728
Together, they have saved a total of $2880+$1728 = $<<2880+1728=4608>>4608
