Ellie had $200 originally.

She spent $32 a day for 5 days. This means that she spends:


\Rightarrow32*5=160

Therefore, she has left:


\Rightarrow200-160=40

She bought gelato for her and her three friends for $6 each. This means that she spent on gelato:


\Rightarrow6*4=24

Subtracting this from the remaining balance, we have:


\Rightarrow40-24=16

At the end of the trip, Ellie has $16 left.
