25100 =
14 Winnie spent: Winnie's total = 1 : 4
Amount that Roshel spent
= 4 x 1 u
= 4 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 4 u + 211
= 5 u + 211
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1796 - 725
= $1071
5 u + 211 = 1071
5 u = 1071 - 211
5 u = 860
1 u = 860 ÷ 5 = 172
Amount that Usha and Roshel had in the end
= 725 - 3 u
= 725 - 3 x 172
= 725 - 516
= $209
Answer(s): $209
