Total amount that Albert, Dylan, Nick and Ahmad spent
= 909 - 122
= $787
Total amount that Albert and Dylan spent
= 5 u + 50
Total amount that Nick and Ahmad spent
= 5 u + 50 + 567
= 5 u + 617
Total amount that Albert, Dylan, Nick and Ahmad spent
= 5 u + 50 + 5 u + 617
= 10 u + 667
10 u + 667 = 787
10 u = 787 - 667
10 u = 120
1 u = 120 ÷ 10 = 12
Total amount that Dylan and Nick spent
= 3 u + 50
= 3 x 12 + 50
= 36 + 50
= $86
Total amount that Albert and Ahmad spent
= 787 - 86
= $701
Answer(s): $701
