Problem 3 :

Hi !

As soon as you read this, you are now on a mission. Your task is to solve a MATH problem to read my special message to you. Can you accomplish your mission? GOOD LUCK!

I went to the Gaisano town center with 1000.00 pesos in my pocket. i want to buy my friend a gift for her upcoming18th birthday. As soon as I arrived, I went directly to the "Females' Wear Section"and picked a dress that cost 365.00 pesos, meanwhile, I thought that dress alone looked so empty, so, I decided to visit the "fashion accessories for woman" and found a very cute and attractive bracelet that cost 53.75 pesos each. I picked three of it 'coz it really suited the dress that i bought. as I kept on wondering what was lacking in my gift, unconsciously my feet was dragging me to the "womans' footwear" then there, i realized that it's the shoes that was lacking ! there i saw a pair of shoes that had the same color with the dress. without a second thought, i picked it, and it cost 298.00 pesos. i think my gift is perfectly fine, so the last thing i bought was a paper bag that cost 32.75 pesos and there i place all my gifts. after that i straightly went home with the gifts in my hand.

Question:

How much money was left in my 1000.00 pesos ?

Remember:

The answer of this is my secret message to you.
