50100 =
12 Roshel spent: Roshel's total = 1 : 2
Amount that Hazel spent
= 2 x 1 u
= 2 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 2 u + 184
= 3 u + 184
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1288 - 612
= $676
3 u + 184 = 676
3 u = 676 - 184
3 u = 492
1 u = 492 ÷ 3 = 164
Amount that Emily and Hazel had in the end
= 612 - 1 u
= 612 - 1 x 164
= 612 - 164
= $448
Answer(s): $448
