40% =
40100 =
25 Vanessa spent: Vanessa's total = 2 : 5
Amount that Hazel spent
= 2 x 2 u
= 4 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2 u + 4 u + 111
= 6 u + 111
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1310 - 617
= $693
6 u + 111 = 693
6 u = 693 - 111
6 u = 582
1 u = 582 ÷ 6 = 97
Amount that Penelope and Hazel had in the end
= 617 - 3 u
= 617 - 3 x 97
= 617 - 291
= $326
Answer(s): $326
