The total amount that Albert and Luke have is repeated. Make the total amount of Albert and Luke the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The total amount that Fabian, Albert and Luke have is repeated. Make the total amount of Fabian, Albert and Luke the same. LCM of 24 and 6 is 24.
Total amount that Fabian, Albert, Luke and Peter shared = 44 u
44 u = 440
1 u = 440 ÷ 44 = 10

Amount that Peter had if Luke gave him all his money
= 20 u + 10 u
= 30 u
Amount that Peter had more than Albert
= 30 u - 5 u
= 25 u
= 25 x 10
= $250
Answer(s): $250
