The difference in amount, which is $35, does not change because both girls spend the same amount.
Thus, if Cally has twice that of Anne after spending, and the difference in their remaining amount is $35, Anne will have $35 and Cally, $70.
Therefore, they will have $105 in the end.
Subtract $105 from $165 and $200, the amount the girls have at the start, and you will find out their total spending, which is $260.
Thus, each of them will spend half of $260, which is $130.

How to solve this question?
Find the equation of the locus of the
3rd vertex of an isosceles triangle if
one of its equal sides joins the
points (0,-4) and (5,-1).

This question is not clear: are the 2 pairs of given coordinates the other 2 vertices? If so, which is the point where the two equal sides meet?
If (0, -4) is the point where the 2 equal sides meet, then the locus of 3rd vertex is a circle with centre (0, -4) with radius which is the distance between (0, -4) and (5, -1), except (5, -1).
Sketching a diagram will help visualise the problem and the locus.

4pm to 6pm: 2 hours
---> 2×$8 = $16
6pm to 10pm: 4 hours
---> 4×$10=$40
Total to pay =$16+$40

This question requires the student to read tables of information.
First thing is to break down the 4 pm to 10 pm into blocks the can be calculated using the table of info. Then work out how many hours for each category of rates, multiply by the rate per hour.

4 to 6 pm: 2 hours x 8 per hour=16
6 to10: 4 hours x 10 =40
16 + 40 = $ 56
