The total amount that Rael and Ian have is repeated. Make the total amount of Rael and Ian the same. LCM of 3 and 5 is 15.
The total amount that Tommy, Rael and Ian have is repeated. Make the total amount of Tommy, Rael and Ian the same. LCM of 24 and 4 is 24.
Total amount that Tommy, Rael, Ian and Caden shared = 30 u
30 u = 510
1 u = 510 ÷ 30 = 17

Amount that Caden had if Ian gave him all his money
= 6 u + 10 u
= 16 u
Amount that Caden had more than Rael
= 16 u - 5 u
= 11 u
= 11 x 17
= $187
Answer(s): $187
