Vincent, Neave and Cody shared $246. During a shopping trip, Vincent spent ²₇ of his share, Neave spent ³₄ of his share and Cody spent ¹₂ of his share. Given that all three boys each spent the same amount of money, how much more money do Vincent and Neave have than Cody in the end?

	Vincent	Neave	Cody	Total
Before	7x3 = 21 u	4x2 = 8 u	2x6 = 12 u	$246
Change	- 2x3 = - 6 u	- 3x2 = - 6 u	- 1x6 = - 6 u
After	5x3 = 15 u	1x2 = 2 u	1x6 = 6 u

The amounts that Vincent, Neave and Cody spent is the same.  Make the amounts that each boy spent the same. LCM of 2, 3 and 1 is 6.

Amounts that the 3 boys had at first
= 21 u + 8 u + 12 u
= 41 u

41 u = 246

1 u = 246 ÷ 41 = 6

Amount that Vincent and Neave have in the end
= 15 u + 2 u
= 17 u

Amount that Vincent and Neave have more than Cody in the end
= 17 u - 6 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 6
= $66

Answer(s): $66
