Ken, Jenson, Nick and Brandon went shopping with a total of $755. After shopping, they had a total of $141 left. Jenson spent $80. The amount Nick spent was ³₄ the amount spent by Ken. The total amount spent by Ken and Jenson was $358 less than the total amount spent by Nick and Brandon. How much did Ken and Brandon spend altogether?

	Ken	Jenson	Nick	Brandon	Total
Before					$755
Change	- 4 u	- $80	- 3 u	- ?	- $614
After					$141

Total amount that Ken, Jenson, Nick and Brandon spent
= 755 - 141
= $614

Total amount that Ken and Jenson spent
= 4 u + 80

Total amount that Nick and Brandon spent
= 4 u + 80 + 358
= 4 u + 438 

Total amount that Ken, Jenson, Nick and Brandon spent
= 4 u + 80 + 4 u + 438
= 8 u + 518 

8 u + 518 = 614
8 u = 614 - 518
8 u = 96 

1 u = 96 ÷ 8 = 12

Total amount that Jenson and Nick spent
= 3 u + 80
= 3 x 12 + 80
= 36 + 80
= $116

Total amount that Ken and Brandon spent
= 614 - 116
= $498

Answer(s): $498
