Since Ken and Vaidev each bought a hoodie at the same price, the difference in the amounts each had remains the same.
Difference in the amounts between Ken and Vaidev
= 5 u - 1 u
= 4 u
4 u = 130 - 82
4 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 4 = 12
Amount that each of them paid for the hoodie
= 82 - 12
= $70
Answer(s): $70
