25 The total amount of money that Julian, Billy and Bryan shared is repeated. Make the total amount of money the same. LCM of 10 and 5 is 10.
Amount that Julian received more than Bryan
= 6 u - 1 u
= 5 u
5 u = 25
1 u = 25 ÷ 5 = 5
Amount that Julian and Bryan shared
= 6 u + 1 u
= 7 u
= 7 x 5
= $35
Answer(s): $35
