The total amount that Asher and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Asher and Gabriel the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Billy, Asher and Gabriel have is repeated. Make the total amount of Billy, Asher and Gabriel the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Billy, Asher, Gabriel and John shared = 24 u
24 u = 192

Amount that John had if Asher gave him all his money
= 4 u + 6 u
= 10 u
Amount that John had more than Billy
= 10 u - 5 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 8
= $40
Answer(s): $40
