25% =
25100 =
14 Fiona spent: Fiona's total = 1 : 4
Amount that Kimberly spent
= 4 x 1 u
= 4 u
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1 u + 4 u + 125
= 5 u + 125
Amount that the three girls spent
= 1311 - 581
= $730
5 u + 125 = 730
5 u = 730 - 125
5 u = 605
1 u = 605 ÷ 5 = 121
Amount that Yen and Kimberly had in the end
= 581 - 3 u
= 581 - 3 x 121
= 581 - 363
= $218
Answer(s): $218
