The total amount that Kylie and Tina have is repeated. Make the total amount that Kylie and Tina have the same. LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.
The total amount that Rachel, Kylie and Tina have is repeated. Make the total amount that Rachel, Kylie and Tina have the same. LCM of 5 and 5 is 15.
Amount that Julie had more than Kylie
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u
4 u = 80
1 u = 80 ÷ 4 = 20
Total sum of money that 4 girls received
= 6 u + 3 u + 2 u + 10 u
= 21 u
= 21 x 20
= $420
Answer(s): $420
