Total amount that Ahmad, Reggie, Cody and Bryan spent
= 923 - 149
= $774
Total amount that Ahmad and Reggie spent
= 3 u + 20
Total amount that Cody and Bryan spent
= 3 u + 20 + 602
= 3 u + 622
Total amount that Ahmad, Reggie, Cody and Bryan spent
= 3 u + 20 + 3 u + 622
= 6 u + 642
6 u + 642 = 774
6 u = 774 - 642
6 u = 132
1 u = 132 ÷ 6 = 22
Total amount that Reggie and Cody spent
= 2 u + 20
= 2 x 22 + 20
= 44 + 20
= $64
Total amount that Ahmad and Bryan spent
= 774 - 64
= $710
Answer(s): $710
