The total amount that Harry and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Harry and Gabriel the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Luke, Harry and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Luke, Harry and Gabriel the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Luke, Harry, Gabriel and Julian shared = 36 u
36 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 36 = 10

Amount that Julian had if Harry gave him all his money
= 16 u + 6 u
= 22 u
Amount that Julian had more than Luke
= 22 u - 5 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 10
= $170
Answer(s): $170
