The total amount that Flynn and Lee have is repeated. Make the total amount of Flynn and Lee the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Henry, Flynn and Lee have is repeated. Make the total amount of Henry, Flynn and Lee the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Henry, Flynn, Lee and Tom shared = 28 u
28 u = 448
1 u = 448 ÷ 28 = 16

Amount that Tom had if Lee gave him all his money
= 8 u + 9 u
= 17 u
Amount that Tom had more than Flynn
= 17 u - 6 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 16
= $176
Answer(s): $176
