The total amount that Ryan and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Ryan and Gabriel the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The total amount that Tim, Ryan and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Tim, Ryan and Gabriel the same. LCM of 24 and 6 is 24.
Total amount that Tim, Ryan, Gabriel and Xavier shared = 44 u
44 u = 308
1 u = 308 ÷ 44 = 7

Amount that Xavier had if Ryan gave him all his money
= 20 u + 5 u
= 25 u
Amount that Xavier had more than Tim
= 25 u - 9 u
= 16 u
= 16 x 7
= $112
Answer(s): $112
