Questioner gave Yoseif $457

Explanation:

Yoseif has $82 left and Maya has been left with $157.

So Yoseif has $157-$82=$75 short.

Though they started with same amount, Yoseif spends $25-$20=$5 extra each day.

Hence it is 75/5=15 days since money was given to Yoseif.

In 15 days Yoseif spent 15xx$25=$375 and he has #$82 left.

Hence, Questioner gave Yoseif $375+82=$457
