14 Tammy spent: Tammy's total = 1 : 4
Amount that Hazel spent
= 2 x 1 u
= 2 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 2 u + 220
= 3 u + 220
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1178 - 553
= $625
3 u + 220 = 625
3 u = 625 - 220
3 u = 405
1 u = 405 ÷ 3 = 135
Amount that Vanessa and Hazel had in the end
= 553 - 3 u
= 553 - 3 x 135
= 553 - 405
= $148
Answer(s): $148
