Total amount that Henry, Vaidev, Billy and Owen spent
= 792 - 22
= $770
Total amount that Henry and Vaidev spent
= 3 u + 20
Total amount that Billy and Owen spent
= 3 u + 20 + 658
= 3 u + 678
Total amount that Henry, Vaidev, Billy and Owen spent
= 3 u + 20 + 3 u + 678
= 6 u + 698
6 u + 698 = 770
6 u = 770 - 698
6 u = 72
1 u = 72 ÷ 6 = 12
Total amount that Vaidev and Billy spent
= 2 u + 20
= 2 x 12 + 20
= 24 + 20
= $44
Total amount that Henry and Owen spent
= 770 - 44
= $726
Answer(s): $726
