Are you sure this is the exact problem?

Mike is paying for 2/3rds of "this"? What is "this"? The total of $1119.13 or something else.

Work out the amount that Mike paid.

Then work out the amount that Mike paid for Kelly based on your previous answer and the total amount Mike has paid at the beginning. That is the amount that Kelly will owe to Mike.
