 SO in total, Emily and Sarah had a total of 80
dollars in which Emily had twice as much as Sarah.

Let’s solve to find out how much their Money is.

=> Since the ratio of the given data is 2:1, 2 + 1 =3, so let’s divide 80 by
3

=> 80 / 3 = 26.667 ,

=> Emily has twice as this.

=> 26.667 * 2 = 53.33

=> Sarah has 26.67

Now, Sarah spent 1/3 of her money

=> 26.67 / 3 = 8.89 – her remaining money

Emily spent 17 dollars of her money

=> 53.33 – 17 = 36.33
