The total amount that Vanessa, Gabby and Fanny have is repeated. Make the total amount that Vanessa, Gabby and Fanny have the same. LCM of 5 and 5 is 15.
Amount that Min had more than Gabby
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u
4 u = 76
1 u = 76 ÷ 4 = 19
Total sum of money that 4 girls received
= 6 u + 3 u + 2 u + 10 u
= 21 u
= 21 x 19
= $399
Answer(s): $399
