Total amount that Flynn, Sam, Vincent and Ethan spent
= 867 - 95
= $772
Total amount that Flynn and Sam spent
= 7 u + 40
Total amount that Vincent and Ethan spent
= 7 u + 40 + 482
= 7 u + 522
Total amount that Flynn, Sam, Vincent and Ethan spent
= 7 u + 40 + 7 u + 522
= 14 u + 562
14 u + 562 = 772
14 u = 772 - 562
14 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 14 = 15
Total amount that Sam and Vincent spent
= 4 u + 40
= 4 x 15 + 40
= 60 + 40
= $100
Total amount that Flynn and Ethan spent
= 772 - 100
= $672
Answer(s): $672
