Caden and Riordan went shopping with the same amount of money. After Caden spent $131 and Riordan spent $91, Riordan had five times as much money left as Caden. How much money did each of them bring along for shopping?

Caden |
Riordan |
| Before |
1 u + $131 |
5 u + $91 |
| Change |
- $131 |
- $91 |
| After |
1 u |
5 u |
Caden and Riordan brought the same amount for shopping at first.
5 u + 91 = 1 u + 131
5 u - 1 u = 131 - 91
4 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 4 = 10
Amount that each of them brought along for shopping
= 1 u + 131
= 10 + 131
= $141
Answer(s): $141
