Total amount that Vaidev, Warren, Glen and Ivan spent
= 880 - 123
= $757
Total amount that Vaidev and Warren spent
= 8 u + 30
Total amount that Glen and Ivan spent
= 8 u + 30 + 425
= 8 u + 455
Total amount that Vaidev, Warren, Glen and Ivan spent
= 8 u + 30 + 8 u + 455
= 16 u + 485
16 u + 485 = 757
16 u = 757 - 485
16 u = 272
1 u = 272 ÷ 16 = 17
Total amount that Warren and Glen spent
= 5 u + 30
= 5 x 17 + 30
= 85 + 30
= $115
Total amount that Vaidev and Ivan spent
= 757 - 115
= $642
Answer(s): $642
