Answer
The glasses are $165. The sunglasses are 3 times that, which means they cost $495. But the contacts are half the cost of the glasses, which is $82.50.Dennis spent under $200, so he didn't buy the sunglasses. Serena spent less than Dennis (who spent under $200) so she didn't buy the sunglasses either. Which means Alice bought the sunglasses. Dennis spent more than Serena, so he bought the glasses and Serena got the contacts.
Dennis/glasses/$165
Alice/sunglasses/$495
Serena/contacts/$82.50
