Total amount that Tommy, Ivan, Warren and Ben spent
= 805 - 103
= $702
Total amount that Tommy and Ivan spent
= 8 u + 80
Total amount that Warren and Ben spent
= 8 u + 80 + 62
= 8 u + 142
Total amount that Tommy, Ivan, Warren and Ben spent
= 8 u + 80 + 8 u + 142
= 16 u + 222
16 u + 222 = 702
16 u = 702 - 222
16 u = 480
1 u = 480 ÷ 16 = 30
Total amount that Ivan and Warren spent
= 5 u + 80
= 5 x 30 + 80
= 150 + 80
= $230
Total amount that Tommy and Ben spent
= 702 - 230
= $472
Answer(s): $472
