Jeremy, Eric, Andy and Neave shared $561. Neave received ⁵₁₂ of the total amount of money received by Jeremy, Eric and Andy. Jeremy received ⁴₅ of the total amount for Eric and Andy. Eric received ¹₃ as much money as Andy. If Andy gave all his money to Neave, how much did Neave have more than Eric in the end?

Jeremy	Eric	Andy	Neave	Total
12x3			5x3	17x3
4x4	5x4
	1x5	3x5
16 u	5 u	15 u	15 u	51 u

The total amount that Eric and Andy have is repeated.  Make the total amount of Eric and Andy the same.  LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

The total amount that Jeremy, Eric and Andy have is repeated.  Make the total amount of Jeremy, Eric and Andy the same. LCM of 36 and 12 is 36.

Total amount that Jeremy, Eric, Andy and Neave shared = 51 u

51 u = 561

1 u = 561 ÷ 51 = 11

	Jeremy	Eric	Andy	Neave
Before	16 u	5 u	15 u	15 u
Change			- 15 u	+ 15 u
After	16 u	5 u	0 u	30 u

Amount that Neave had if Andy gave him all his money
= 15 u + 15 u
= 30 u

Amount that Neave had more than Eric
= 30 u - 5 u
= 25 u
= 25 x 11
= $275

Answer(s): $275
