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

	Cindy	Hazel	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 Cindy and Hazel shared the cost of their younger sister's present equally, the amount each paid for the present is the same. 

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

Amount that Hazel spent on the present
= 27 u - 20 u
= 7 u

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

Answer(s): 25.9%
