The total amount that Carl and Oliver have is repeated. Make the total amount of Carl and Oliver the same. LCM of 3 and 4 is 12.
The total amount that Tommy, Carl and Oliver have is repeated. Make the total amount of Tommy, Carl and Oliver the same. LCM of 15 and 3 is 15.
Total amount that Tommy, Carl, Oliver and Ryan shared = 20 u
20 u = 360
1 u = 360 ÷ 20 = 18

Amount that Ryan had if Carl gave him all his money
= 5 u + 4 u
= 9 u
Amount that Ryan had more than Tommy
= 9 u - 3 u
= 6 u
= 6 x 18
= $108
Answer(s): $108
