Answer:

Ms. Mary spend $302

Ms. Mona spend $ 686

Step-by-step explanation: We know that Ms. Mary spend $192 less than Ms. Mona.

So we are to divide $988 by 2 which is 494

now both have $494 each but Ms. Mona spend 192 so we are to add 192 + 494 to get the right sum of how much money Ms. Mona have and take away 494-192 to get the right sum of how much money Ms. Mary spend.

192 + 494 = 686

494 - 192 = 302
