15 Jaslyn spent: Jaslyn's total = 1 : 5
Amount that Emily spent
= 2 x 1 u
= 2 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 2 u + 299
= 3 u + 299
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1343 - 771
= $572
3 u + 299 = 572
3 u = 572 - 299
3 u = 273
1 u = 273 ÷ 3 = 91
Amount that Victoria and Emily had in the end
= 771 - 4 u
= 771 - 4 x 91
= 771 - 364
= $407
Answer(s): $407
