The total amount that Julian and Seth have is repeated. Make the total amount of Julian and Seth the same. LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.
The total amount that Cole, Julian and Seth have is repeated. Make the total amount of Cole, Julian and Seth the same. LCM of 20 and 4 is 20.
Total amount that Cole, Julian, Seth and Owen shared = 35 u
35 u = 455
1 u = 455 ÷ 35 = 13

Amount that Owen had if Julian gave him all his money
= 15 u + 3 u
= 18 u
Amount that Owen had more than Cole
= 18 u - 8 u
= 10 u
= 10 x 13
= $130
Answer(s): $130
