how much money di Minghua have at first?

From the question, the total amount of money they had = 1325+675 = $2000\t

At final stage:\t
Minghua
3/4 Unit = 675
1/4 Unit = 225
1 whole = 900
so before that Minghua had $900 nad Lily had $1100\t
\t
Lily
2/3 Unit = 1100
1/3 Unit = 550
1 whole = 1650
so before this Lily had $1650 and Minghua had $350\t

Minghua
1/2 Unit = 350
1 whole = 700

Minghua had $700 at first.
