25 Raeann spent: Raeann's total = 2 : 5
Amount that Emma spent
= 4 x 2 u
= 8 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2 u + 8 u + 165
= 10 u + 165
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1376 - 701
= $675
10 u + 165 = 675
10 u = 675 - 165
10 u = 510
1 u = 510 ÷ 10 = 51
Amount that Linda and Emma had in the end
= 701 - 3 u
= 701 - 3 x 51
= 701 - 153
= $548
Answer(s): $548
