Peter

100 ÷ 8 = 12.5

12.5 x 5 = 62.50

Peter spent $62.50 on a holiday present and saved $38.50

Raman

100 ÷ 3 =  33.33

33.3 x 2 = 66.66

Raman spent $66.66 and saved $33.3.

Patricia

6 x 10 = 60

4 x 10 = 40

40 + 60 = 100

Patricia spent $60 and saved $40. Since 6 + 4 = 10, and 10 x 10 = 100, which is the total for everyone, I multiplied both numbers by 10 to get the actual numbers.

Fiza

100 ÷ 5 = 20

20 x 4 = 80

Fiza spent $80 and saved $20.

Patricia saved the most money. She had $40 left over from buying a holiday present.
