Total amount that Oliver, Vaidev, Sam and Cody spent
= 811 - 94
= $717
Total amount that Oliver and Vaidev spent
= 5 u + 70
Total amount that Sam and Cody spent
= 5 u + 70 + 377
= 5 u + 447
Total amount that Oliver, Vaidev, Sam and Cody spent
= 5 u + 70 + 5 u + 447
= 10 u + 517
10 u + 517 = 717
10 u = 717 - 517
10 u = 200
1 u = 200 ÷ 10 = 20
Total amount that Vaidev and Sam spent
= 2 u + 70
= 2 x 20 + 70
= 40 + 70
= $110
Total amount that Oliver and Cody spent
= 717 - 110
= $607
Answer(s): $607
