Marion, Gillian, Jaslyn and Kylie received a sum of money. Marion received ²₅ of the total amount of money Gillian, Jaslyn and Kylie received. Gillian received ¹₄ of the total amount of money Jaslyn and Kylie received. Jaslyn received ¹₅ as much money as Kylie. If Marion received $24 more than Jaslyn, find the total sum of money the 4 girls received.

Marion	Gillian	Jaslyn	Kylie	Total
2x3	5x3
	1x3	4x3
		1x2	5x2
6 u	3 u	2 u	10 u	21 u

The total amount that Jaslyn and Kylie have is repeated.  Make the total amount that Jaslyn and Kylie have the same.  LCM of 6 and 4 is 12.

The total amount that Gillian, Jaslyn and Kylie have is repeated.  Make the total amount that Gillian, Jaslyn and Kylie have the same. LCM of 5 and 5 is 15.

Amount that Marion had more than Jaslyn
= 6 u - 2 u
= 4 u

4 u = 24

1 u = 24 ÷ 4 = 6

Total sum of money that 4 girls received
= 6 u + 3 u + 2 u + 10 u 
= 21 u
= 21 x 6
= $126

Answer(s): $126
