14 The total amount of money that Charlie, Tim and Julian shared is repeated. Make the total amount of money the same. LCM of 10 and 4 is 20.
Amount that Tim received less than Charlie
= 15 u - 3 u
= 12 u
12 u = 204
1 u = 204 ÷ 12 = 17
Amount that Tim and Julian shared
= 3 u + 2 u
= 5 u
= 5 x 17
= $85
Answer(s): $85
