40% =
40100 =
25 Jean spent: Jean's total = 2 : 5
Amount that Natalie spent
= 4 x 2 u
= 8 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2 u + 8 u + 246
= 10 u + 246
Amount that the three girls spent
= 2834 - 698
= $2136
10 u + 246 = 2136
10 u = 2136 - 246
10 u = 1890
1 u = 1890 ÷ 10 = 189
Amount that Jade and Natalie had in the end
= 698 - 3 u
= 698 - 3 x 189
= 698 - 567
= $131
Answer(s): $131
