Akeno spent $2985 to furnish his apartment. Lev spent one-third of that amount on his apartment and Ambrocio spent $177 less than Lev. How many dollars more did Akeno spend than the other 2 people combined?
Stream of thoughts:
1172
Lev = (1 / 3) * 2985 = $995.

Ambrocio = 995 - 177 = $818.

2985 - (995 + 818) = $1172.

Akeno spent $1172 more than Lev and Ambrocio combined.

.

Therefore, the answer is 1172
