Harry, Ivan, Brandon and Albert went shopping with a total of $487. After shopping, they had a total of $35 left. Ivan spent $20. The amount Brandon spent was ²₃ the amount spent by Harry. The total amount spent by Harry and Ivan was $256 less than the total amount spent by Brandon and Albert. How much did Harry and Albert spend altogether?

	Harry	Ivan	Brandon	Albert	Total
Before					$487
Change	- 3 u	- $20	- 2 u	- ?	- $452
After					$35

Total amount that Harry, Ivan, Brandon and Albert spent
= 487 - 35
= $452

Total amount that Harry and Ivan spent
= 3 u + 20

Total amount that Brandon and Albert spent
= 3 u + 20 + 256
= 3 u + 276 

Total amount that Harry, Ivan, Brandon and Albert spent
= 3 u + 20 + 3 u + 276
= 6 u + 296 

6 u + 296 = 452
6 u = 452 - 296
6 u = 156 

1 u = 156 ÷ 6 = 26

Total amount that Ivan and Brandon spent
= 2 u + 20
= 2 x 26 + 20
= 52 + 20
= $72

Total amount that Harry and Albert spent
= 452 - 72
= $380

Answer(s): $380
