The total amount that Mark and Valen have is repeated. Make the total amount of Mark and Valen the same. LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.
The total amount that Bryan, Mark and Valen have is repeated. Make the total amount of Bryan, Mark and Valen the same. LCM of 20 and 5 is 20.
Total amount that Bryan, Mark, Valen and Vaidev shared = 24 u
24 u = 216
1 u = 216 ÷ 24 = 9

Amount that Vaidev had if Mark gave him all his money
= 4 u + 6 u
= 10 u
Amount that Vaidev had more than Bryan
= 10 u - 5 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 9
= $45
Answer(s): $45
