40% =
40100 =
25 Dana spent: Dana's total = 2 : 5
Amount that Kylie spent
= 4 x 2 u
= 8 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2 u + 8 u + 152
= 10 u + 152
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1582 - 780
= $802
10 u + 152 = 802
10 u = 802 - 152
10 u = 650
1 u = 650 ÷ 10 = 65
Amount that Jade and Kylie had in the end
= 780 - 3 u
= 780 - 3 x 65
= 780 - 195
= $585
Answer(s): $585
