The total amount that Glen and Paul have is repeated. Make the total amount of Glen and Paul the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The total amount that Perry, Glen and Paul have is repeated. Make the total amount of Perry, Glen and Paul the same. LCM of 24 and 6 is 24.
Total amount that Perry, Glen, Paul and Flynn shared = 44 u
44 u = 528
1 u = 528 ÷ 44 = 12

Amount that Flynn had if Glen gave him all his money
= 20 u + 5 u
= 25 u
Amount that Flynn had more than Perry
= 25 u - 9 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 12
= $192
Answer(s): $192
