The amount that Fabian had remains unchanged. Make the amount that Fabian had the same. LCM of 1 and 10 is 10.
Amount that Mark had in the end = 1 u
60 u - 118 = 1 u
60 u - 1 u = 118
59 u = 118
1 u = 118 ÷ 59 = 2
Amount that Fabian had more than Japheth at first
= 60 u - 10 u
= 50 u
= 50 x 2
= $100
Answer(s): $100
