Sam, Flynn, Jenson and Albert went shopping with a total of $706. After shopping, they had a total of $187 left. Flynn spent $50. The amount Jenson spent was ⁵₈ the amount spent by Sam. The total amount spent by Sam and Flynn was $-29 less than the total amount spent by Jenson and Albert. How much did Sam and Albert spend altogether?

	Sam	Flynn	Jenson	Albert	Total
Before					$706
Change	- 8 u	- $50	- 5 u	- ?	- $519
After					$187

Total amount that Sam, Flynn, Jenson and Albert spent
= 706 - 187
= $519

Total amount that Sam and Flynn spent
= 8 u + 50

Total amount that Jenson and Albert spent
= 8 u + 50 + -29
= 8 u + 21 

Total amount that Sam, Flynn, Jenson and Albert spent
= 8 u + 50 + 8 u + 21
= 16 u + 71 

16 u + 71 = 519
16 u = 519 - 71
16 u = 448 

1 u = 448 ÷ 16 = 28

Total amount that Flynn and Jenson spent
= 5 u + 50
= 5 x 28 + 50
= 140 + 50
= $190

Total amount that Sam and Albert spent
= 519 - 190
= $329

Answer(s): $329
