The total amount that Zane and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Zane and Gabriel the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The total amount that Eric, Zane and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Eric, Zane and Gabriel the same. LCM of 24 and 4 is 24.
Total amount that Eric, Zane, Gabriel and Ethan shared = 30 u
30 u = 570

Amount that Ethan had if Gabriel gave him all his money
= 6 u + 10 u
= 16 u
Amount that Ethan had more than Zane
= 16 u - 5 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 19
= $209
Answer(s): $209
