25 The total amount of money that Harry, Ryan and Fabian shared is repeated. Make the total amount of money the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
Amount that Harry received more than Fabian
= 12 u - 5 u
= 7 u
7 u = 133
1 u = 133 ÷ 7 = 19
Amount that Harry and Fabian shared
= 12 u + 5 u
= 17 u
= 17 x 19
= $323
Answer(s): $323
