Total amount that Asher, Harry, Jenson and Bobby spent
= 935 - 156
= $779
Total amount that Asher and Harry spent
= 4 u + 80
Total amount that Jenson and Bobby spent
= 4 u + 80 + 515
= 4 u + 595
Total amount that Asher, Harry, Jenson and Bobby spent
= 4 u + 80 + 4 u + 595
= 8 u + 675
8 u + 675 = 779
8 u = 779 - 675
8 u = 104
1 u = 104 ÷ 8 = 13
Total amount that Harry and Jenson spent
= 3 u + 80
= 3 x 13 + 80
= 39 + 80
= $119
Total amount that Asher and Bobby spent
= 779 - 119
= $660
Answer(s): $660
