The total amount that Tim and John have is repeated. Make the total amount of Tim and John the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Albert, Tim and John have is repeated. Make the total amount of Albert, Tim and John the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Albert, Tim, John and Owen shared = 36 u
36 u = 468
1 u = 468 ÷ 36 = 13

Amount that Owen had if Tim gave him all his money
= 16 u + 6 u
= 22 u
Amount that Owen had more than Albert
= 22 u - 5 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 13
= $221
Answer(s): $221
