Mr Lim: [$4135]
Mrs Lim: $6940 = [$4135] + [$2805]
After:
Mr Lim: [1u]
Mrs Lim: [1u][1u][1u][1u]
Since they spent same amount, looking at the before state, the [$4135] of both parties should be reduced to [1u] after the spending.
Thus, from Mrs Lim side:
3u = $2805
u = $935
Spending = ($4135 - $935) x 2 = $6400 -
