25% =
25100 =
14 Min spent: Min's total = 1 : 4
Amount that Raeann spent
= 4 x 1 u
= 4 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 4 u + 105
= 5 u + 105
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1053 - 523
= $530
5 u + 105 = 530
5 u = 530 - 105
5 u = 425
1 u = 425 ÷ 5 = 85
Amount that Xuan and Raeann had in the end
= 523 - 3 u
= 523 - 3 x 85
= 523 - 255
= $268
Answer(s): $268
