Xuan's and Jade's savings were in the ratio of 4 : 9. Both of them shared the cost of their cousin's gift equally. Xuan's remaining savings was ¹₄ as much as Jade's savings. What percentage of her savings did Jade spend? Correct the answer to 1 decimal place.

	Xuan	Jade	Difference
Before	4x3 = 12 u	9x3 = 27 u	5x3 = 15 u
Change	- 7 u	- 7 u
After	1x5 = 5 u	4x5 = 20 u	3x5 = 15 u

Since Xuan and Jade shared the cost of their cousin's gift equally, the amount each paid for the gift is the same. 

So, the difference in the amounts between Xuan and Jade at first and in the end remains the same.  Make the difference in the amounts between Xuan and Jade at first and in the end the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.

Amount that Jade spent on the gift
= 27 u - 20 u
= 7 u

Percentage of her savings that Jade spent
= ⁷₂₇ x 100%
≈ 25.9%

Answer(s): 25.9%
