Hi there! The answer is £198.

If you spend 3 / 12 of a certain amount of money, you have 9 / 12 of the money left.

Simplify the fraction.

9 / 12 = 3 / 4.

To find the amount of money left, we multiply this factor by 264. We get the following

£264 * 3/4 = £264 * 0.75 = £198

Therefore the answer is £198
