Pamela, Tammy and Jen bought a souvenir for their buddy. They shared the cost equally between them. Pamela used ⁴₉ of her savings, Tammy used ¹₆ of her savings and Jen used ²₅ of her savings. Pamela and Jen had $165 left. How much did each girl pay for the souvenir?
The amount spent by each girl is the same.  Make the numerators the same.
LCM of 4, 1 and 2 = 4

4x19x1 of Pamela's savings = 1x46x4 of Tammy's savings = 2x25x2 of Jen savings
49 of Pamela's savings = 424 of Tammy's savings = 410 of Jen's savings

	Pamela	Tammy	Jen
Before	9 u	24 u	10 u
Change	- 4 u	- 4 u	- 4 u
After	5 u	20 u	6 u

Savings that Pamela had left
= 9 u - 4 u
= 5 u

Savings that Jen had left
= 10 u - 4 u
= 6 u

Total savings that Pamela and Jen had left
= 5 u + 6 u
= 11 u

11 u = 165

1 u = 165 ÷ 11 = 15

Amount that each girl paid
= 4 u
= 4 x 15
= $60

Answer(s): $60
