Zaire Ayers · Answer 1

Last night Jasmine and Jay amount combined is $150+$130=$280

amount donated to charity is 1/4 of $280 = $70

amount spent at an amusement park is' 40/100 x $210 = $84

the remaining money = 280 - (70+84) = $126

35% of their original amount is 35/100x$280=$98

so Jay's claim is not correct because the remaining money is $126 and not $98 as she Jay claims.
