40100 =
25 Nicole spent: Nicole's total = 2 : 5
Amount that Erika spent
= 4 x 2 u
= 8 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2 u + 8 u + 264
= 10 u + 264
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1793 - 469
= $1324
10 u + 264 = 1324
10 u = 1324 - 264
10 u = 1060
1 u = 1060 ÷ 10 = 106
Amount that Julie and Erika had in the end
= 469 - 3 u
= 469 - 3 x 106
= 469 - 318
= $151
Answer(s): $151
