Step 1
Yoseif has $82 left and Maya has been left with $157
So Yoseif has $157$82=$75 short.
Though they started with same amount, Yoseif spends $25$20=$5
extra each day.
Hence it is 755=15 days since money was given to Yoseif.
In 15 days Yoseif spent 15×$25=$375 and he has $82 left
Hence, Questioner gave Yoseif $375+82=$457
