40% =
40100 =
25 Fanny spent: Fanny's total = 2 : 5
Amount that Gem spent
= 2 x 2 u
= 4 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2 u + 4 u + 274
= 6 u + 274
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2118 - 782
= $1336
6 u + 274 = 1336
6 u = 1336 - 274
6 u = 1062
1 u = 1062 ÷ 6 = 177
Amount that Julie and Gem had in the end
= 782 - 3 u
= 782 - 3 x 177
= 782 - 531
= $251
Answer(s): $251
