Brandon, Asher, Riordan and Carl shared $880. Carl received ⁵₆ of the total amount of money received by Brandon, Asher and Riordan. Brandon received ³₅ of the total amount for Asher and Riordan. Asher received ¹₂ as much money as Riordan. If Asher gave all his money to Carl, how much did Carl have more than Brandon in the end?

Brandon	Asher	Riordan	Carl	Total
6x4			5x4	11x4
3x3	5x3
	1x5	2x5
9 u	5 u	10 u	20 u	44 u

The total amount that Asher and Riordan have is repeated.  Make the total amount of Asher and Riordan the same.  LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.

The total amount that Brandon, Asher and Riordan have is repeated.  Make the total amount of Brandon, Asher and Riordan the same. LCM of 24 and 6 is 24.

Total amount that Brandon, Asher, Riordan and Carl shared = 44 u

44 u = 880

1 u = 880 ÷ 44 = 20

	Brandon	Asher	Riordan	Carl
Before	9 u	5 u	10 u	20 u
Change		- 5 u		+ 5 u
After	9 u	0 u	10 u	25 u

Amount that Carl had if Asher gave him all his money
= 20 u + 5 u
= 25 u

Amount that Carl had more than Brandon
= 25 u - 9 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 20
= $320

Answer(s): $320
