Since Flynn and David each bought a hoodie at the same price, the difference in the amounts each had remains the same.
Difference in the amounts between Flynn and David
= 4 u - 1 u
= 3 u
3 u = 80 - 44
3 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 3 = 12
Amount that each of them paid for the hoodie
= 44 - 12
= $32
Answer(s): $32
