Total amount that Hazel and Winnie had at first
= 4 u + 4 u + 44
= 8 u + 44
8 u + 44 = 396
4 u + 3 u = 396 - 44
8 u = 352
1 u = 352 ÷ 8 = 44
Amount that Hazel had at first
= 4 u
= 4 x 44
= $176
Amount that Winnie had at first
= 396 - 176
= $220
At first
Hazel : Winnie
176 : 220
4 : 5
Answer(s): 4 : 5
