The total amount that Peter and Liam have is repeated. Make the total amount of Peter and Liam the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Lee, Peter and Liam have is repeated. Make the total amount of Lee, Peter and Liam the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Lee, Peter, Liam and Tommy shared = 36 u
36 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 36 = 3

Amount that Tommy had if Liam gave him all his money
= 16 u + 9 u
= 25 u
Amount that Tommy had more than Peter
= 25 u - 6 u
= 19 u
= 19 x 3
= $57
Answer(s): $57
