12 Xylia spent: Xylia's total = 1 : 2
Amount that Raeann spent
= 4 x 1 u
= 4 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 4 u + 136
= 5 u + 136
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1464 - 423
= $1041
5 u + 136 = 1041
5 u = 1041 - 136
5 u = 905
1 u = 905 ÷ 5 = 181
Amount that Hazel and Raeann had in the end
= 423 - 1 u
= 423 - 1 x 181
= 423 - 181
= $242
Answer(s): $242
