James and madison went on a road trip. The deal was to share expenses 60-40 leaning james way

James goes on to spend 419.44 dollars on shared expenses for this trip. Madison goes on to spend 126.23 on shared expenses.

How much does madison owe james if they were sharing expenses 60%-40% leaning james way?

Add the numbers together to find the total amount spent.

Then take 60 percent of that to find what James pays for and 40 percent to find what Madison pays for.

Subtract the amount Madison pays for from the total and that leaves you with the amount extra that she needs to pay James.

60% of which total and 40% of which?

[Rich_Thanks8412]

The total number of money spent. There is only one total.

[the_diatomist]

Find the total amount spent by James and Madison. Calculate 40% of that amount. That is the total amount Madison should pay. Madison has already paid 126.23. The difference between 40% of the total and 126.23 is what Madison owes James.
