Shaded part of model = amount spent = equal amount spent by each of them.

To check back from my solution:
When both Mr Ganesh and Mr Goh each spent $2400,

Remaining amount by Ganesh is :
$4800 - $2400 = $2400
Remaining amount left by Goh is:
$3600 - $2400 = $1200

Remaining amount by Ganesh : Goh
= 2. : 1
