Total amount that Dylan, Luis, Caden and Flynn spent
= 754 - 34
= $720
Total amount that Dylan and Luis spent
= 7 u + 20
Total amount that Caden and Flynn spent
= 7 u + 20 + 470
= 7 u + 490
Total amount that Dylan, Luis, Caden and Flynn spent
= 7 u + 20 + 7 u + 490
= 14 u + 510
14 u + 510 = 720
14 u = 720 - 510
14 u = 210
1 u = 210 ÷ 14 = 15
Total amount that Luis and Caden spent
= 5 u + 20
= 5 x 15 + 20
= 75 + 20
= $95
Total amount that Dylan and Flynn spent
= 720 - 95
= $625
Answer(s): $625
