Remaining

Petra went on a 4-day trip to Vienna with her aunt. On the first day of the trip, she spent a quarter of her pocket money; on the second day, two-fifths of the remaining money; on the third day, she spent a third of her entire original pocket money; and on the fourth day, she had €7 left. How much pocket money did Petra receive from her parents for the trip?
