The total amount that Tiffany, Abi and Sabrina have is repeated. Make the total amount that Tiffany, Abi and Sabrina have the same. LCM of 5 and 5 is 15.
Amount that Tiffany had less than Roshel
= 6 u - 3 u
= 3 u
3 u = 48
1 u = 48 ÷ 3 = 16
Total sum of money that 4 girls received
= 6 u + 3 u + 2 u + 10 u
= 21 u
= 21 x 16
= $336
Answer(s): $336
