Caden and Owen went shopping with the same amount of money. After Caden spent $86 and Owen spent $74, Owen had five times as much money left as Caden. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?

Caden |
Owen |
| Before |
1 u + $86 |
5 u + $74 |
| Change |
- $86 |
- $74 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Caden and Owen brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 74 = 1 u + 86
5 u - 1 u = 86 - 74
4 u = 12
1 u = 12 ÷ 4 = 3
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 86
= 3 + 86
= $89
Answer(s): $89
