Total amount that Fabian, Lee, Ryan and Billy spent
= 760 - 95
= $665
Total amount that Fabian and Lee spent
= 6 u + 40
Total amount that Ryan and Billy spent
= 6 u + 40 + 237
= 6 u + 277
Total amount that Fabian, Lee, Ryan and Billy spent
= 6 u + 40 + 6 u + 277
= 12 u + 317
12 u + 317 = 665
12 u = 665 - 317
12 u = 348
1 u = 348 ÷ 12 = 29
Total amount that Lee and Ryan spent
= 5 u + 40
= 5 x 29 + 40
= 145 + 40
= $185
Total amount that Fabian and Billy spent
= 665 - 185
= $480
Answer(s): $480
