25% =
25100 =
14 Fanny spent: Fanny's total = 1 : 4
Amount that Nicole spent
= 4 x 1 u
= 4 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 4 u + 202
= 5 u + 202
Amount that the three girls spent
= 926 - 424
= $502
5 u + 202 = 502
5 u = 502 - 202
5 u = 300
1 u = 300 ÷ 5 = 60
Amount that Yen and Nicole had in the end
= 424 - 3 u
= 424 - 3 x 60
= 424 - 180
= $244
Answer(s): $244
