Total amount that Asher, Daniel, Glen and Cody spent
= 935 - 163
= $772
Total amount that Asher and Daniel spent
= 5 u + 70
Total amount that Glen and Cody spent
= 5 u + 70 + 402
= 5 u + 472
Total amount that Asher, Daniel, Glen and Cody spent
= 5 u + 70 + 5 u + 472
= 10 u + 542
10 u + 542 = 772
10 u = 772 - 542
10 u = 230
1 u = 230 ÷ 10 = 23
Total amount that Daniel and Glen spent
= 3 u + 70
= 3 x 23 + 70
= 69 + 70
= $139
Total amount that Asher and Cody spent
= 772 - 139
= $633
Answer(s): $633
