The total amount that Vincent and Neave have is repeated. Make the total amount of Vincent and Neave the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Ryan, Vincent and Neave have is repeated. Make the total amount of Ryan, Vincent and Neave the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Ryan, Vincent, Neave and Sam shared = 24 u
24 u = 264
1 u = 264 ÷ 24 = 11

Amount that Sam had if Vincent gave him all his money
= 4 u + 6 u
= 10 u
Amount that Sam had more than Ryan
= 10 u - 5 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 11
= $55
Answer(s): $55
