1/3 of $288 is $96 So, therefore Shally had $96 at first.
But They both didn't have the same amount of money after too because:
1/3 of $288 is $96
$96 + $68 = $164 So Shally has $164

Now, $288 - $96 = $192. So Katherine has $192

So therefore they did not have the same amount of money but 1/3 of $288 is $96
