The total amount that Luis and Caden have is repeated. Make the total amount of Luis and Caden the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
The total amount that Carl, Luis and Caden have is repeated. Make the total amount of Carl, Luis and Caden the same. LCM of 36 and 6 is 36.
Total amount that Carl, Luis, Caden and Harry shared = 66 u
66 u = 1188
1 u = 1188 ÷ 66 = 18

Amount that Harry had if Luis gave him all his money
= 30 u + 5 u
= 35 u
Amount that Harry had more than Carl
= 35 u - 16 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 18
= $342
Answer(s): $342
