40% =
40100 =
25 Linda spent: Linda's total = 2 : 5
Amount that Kylie spent
= 4 x 2 u
= 8 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2 u + 8 u + 229
= 10 u + 229
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1844 - 625
= $1219
10 u + 229 = 1219
10 u = 1219 - 229
10 u = 990
1 u = 990 ÷ 10 = 99
Amount that Jane and Kylie had in the end
= 625 - 3 u
= 625 - 3 x 99
= 625 - 297
= $328
Answer(s): $328
