The total amount that Jack and John have is repeated. Make the total amount of Jack and John the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Warren, Jack and John have is repeated. Make the total amount of Warren, Jack and John the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Warren, Jack, John and Simon shared = 32 u
32 u = 320
1 u = 320 ÷ 32 = 10

Amount that Simon had if Jack gave him all his money
= 12 u + 6 u
= 18 u
Amount that Simon had more than Warren
= 18 u - 5 u
= 13 u
= 13 x 10
= $130
Answer(s): $130
