Wesley, Ryan, Howard and Sam shared $375. Sam received ¹₄ of the total amount of money received by Wesley, Ryan and Howard. Wesley received ²₃ of the total amount for Ryan and Howard. Ryan received ¹₃ as much money as Howard. If Howard gave all his money to Sam, how much did Sam have more than Ryan in the end?

Wesley	Ryan	Howard	Sam	Total
4x5			1x5	5x5
2x4	3x4
	1x3	3x3
8 u	3 u	9 u	5 u	25 u

The total amount that Ryan and Howard have is repeated.  Make the total amount of Ryan and Howard the same.  LCM of 4 and 3 is 12.

The total amount that Wesley, Ryan and Howard have is repeated.  Make the total amount of Wesley, Ryan and Howard the same. LCM of 20 and 4 is 20.

Total amount that Wesley, Ryan, Howard and Sam shared = 25 u

25 u = 375

1 u = 375 ÷ 25 = 15

	Wesley	Ryan	Howard	Sam
Before	8 u	3 u	9 u	5 u
Change			- 9 u	+ 9 u
After	8 u	3 u	0 u	14 u

Amount that Sam had if Howard gave him all his money
= 5 u + 9 u
= 14 u

Amount that Sam had more than Ryan
= 14 u - 3 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 15
= $165

Answer(s): $165
