Let u be Don’s 1/4 money and hence John’s 1/5 money is (u+72)
Partial Amount Total Amount for Each Total for Both of them
Don [u] 4u
900
John [u][72] 5(u+72)
4u + 5(u+72) = 900
4u + 5u+ 360 = 900
9u = 540
u = 60
Don’s money = 4 x 60 = 240
John’s money = 5(60+72) = 660
Difference = 660-240 = 420
Hence John has $420 more than Don.
