The total amount that Cody and Albert have is repeated. Make the total amount of Cody and Albert the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The total amount that Sean, Cody and Albert have is repeated. Make the total amount of Sean, Cody and Albert the same. LCM of 24 and 4 is 24.
Total amount that Sean, Cody, Albert and Rael shared = 30 u
30 u = 570
1 u = 570 ÷ 30 = 19

Amount that Rael had if Cody gave him all his money
= 6 u + 5 u
= 11 u
Amount that Rael had more than Sean
= 11 u - 9 u
= 2 u
= 2 x 19
= $38
Answer(s): $38
