The total amount that Owen and Pierre have is repeated. Make the total amount of Owen and Pierre the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
The total amount that Peter, Owen and Pierre have is repeated. Make the total amount of Peter, Owen and Pierre the same. LCM of 36 and 12 is 36.
Total amount that Peter, Owen, Pierre and Henry shared = 39 u
39 u = 507
1 u = 507 ÷ 39 = 13

Amount that Henry had if Owen gave him all his money
= 3 u + 5 u
= 8 u
Amount that Henry had more than Peter
= 8 u - 16 u
= -8 u
= -8 x 13
= $-104
Answer(s): $-104
