Question 1185641: Kathy and Mark Smith believe investing in their retirement is critical. Kathy began investing 20% of each paycheck in a retirement account when she was 20 years old. She has saved four times more than Mark who began saving when he was 35. If their total retirement savings equals $1,540,000, how much are Kathy’s and Mark's investments worth?

You can put this solution on YOUR website! .
Let me make a note regarding your writing.
In Math problems in English, they NEVER use this combination of words " four times more than . . . "
It is PROHIBITED in Math problems in English, because it ALWAYS creates AMBIGUOSITY.
They usually write " four times as much as . . . " or " three times as much as . . . ", depending on context.
THEREFORE, I will not solve this problem, waiting when you submit a correct/ (a corrected) version.
