Gillian, Joelle, Jaslyn and Kathy received a sum of money. Gillian received ²₅ of the total amount of money Joelle, Jaslyn and Kathy received. Joelle received ¹₃ of the total amount of money Jaslyn and Kathy received. Jaslyn received ¹₄ as much money as Kathy. If Gillian received $60 more than Jaslyn, find the total sum of money the 4 girls received.

Gillian	Joelle	Jaslyn	Kathy	Total
2x4	5x4
	1x5	3x5
		1x3	4x3
8 u	5 u	3 u	12 u	28 u

The total amount that Jaslyn and Kathy have is repeated.  Make the total amount that Jaslyn and Kathy have the same.  LCM of 5 and 3 is 15.

The total amount that Joelle, Jaslyn and Kathy have is repeated.  Make the total amount that Joelle, Jaslyn and Kathy have the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.

Amount that Gillian had more than Jaslyn
= 8 u - 3 u
= 5 u

5 u = 60

1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12

Total sum of money that 4 girls received
= 8 u + 5 u + 3 u + 12 u 
= 28 u
= 28 x 12
= $336

Answer(s): $336
