To compare the amounts of money in their accounts, let's simplify the expressions first:

Sama: $ (5^(8)*5^(4))/((5^(3))^(2))
= $ (5^(8+4))/((5^(3 * 2)))
= $ (5^(12))/(5^(6))
= $ 5^(12-6)
= $ 5^(6)
So Sama has $ 5^(6) in her account.

Jimena: $ (2^(9)*(2^(-2))^(-3))/(2)
= $ (2^(9+(-2)(-3)))/(2)
= $ (2^(9+6))/(2)
= $ (2^(15))/(2)
= $ 2^(15-1)
= $ 2^(14)
So Jimena has $ 2^(14) in her account.

Therefore, Sama has $ 5^(6) in her account, while Jimena has $ 2^(14) in her account.
Since 5^(6) is not equal to 2^(14), they both do not have the same amount of money in their account.

To find the difference in the amount of money they have:
Difference = $ 5^(6) - $ 2^(14) = $759 - $523 = $236

So Sama has $759 in her account, Jimena has $523 in her account, Sama has 7 times more money in her account than Jimena, and the difference in the amount of money they have is $236.
This isn't true
I apologize for the incorrect response. Let's correct the calculations.

Sama: $ (5^(8)*5^(4))/((5^(3))^(2))
= $ (5^(12))/(5^(6))
= $ 5^(12-6)
= $ 5^(6)
So Sama has $ 5^(6) in her account.

Jimena: $ (2^(9)*(2^(-2))^(-3))/(2)
= $ (2^(9)*(2^(6)))/(2)
= $ (2^(9+6))/(2)
= $ (2^(15))/(2)
= $ 2^(15-1)
= $ 2^(14)
So Jimena has $ 2^(14) in her account.

To compare the amounts of money in their accounts:
Sama has $5^(6) and Jimena has $2^(14).

Since it's not clear what the values of 5^(6) and 2^(14) are, we cannot determine who has more money in their account or calculate the difference in their amounts. We need the specific values to make that comparison.
