Total amount that Will, Liam, Jenson and Andy spent
= 482 - 72
= $410
Total amount that Will and Liam spent
= 5 u + 40
Total amount that Jenson and Andy spent
= 5 u + 40 + 110
= 5 u + 150
Total amount that Will, Liam, Jenson and Andy spent
= 5 u + 40 + 5 u + 150
= 10 u + 190
10 u + 190 = 410
10 u = 410 - 190
10 u = 220
1 u = 220 ÷ 10 = 22
Total amount that Liam and Jenson spent
= 3 u + 40
= 3 x 22 + 40
= 66 + 40
= $106
Total amount that Will and Andy spent
= 410 - 106
= $304
Answer(s): $304
