Total number of cards that Dana and Shannon have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Dana gives to Shannon, both of them will have the same number of cards.
The total number of cards that Dana and Shannon have remains unchanged.
Number of cards that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of cards that Dana gives to Shannon
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 6 = 3
Total number of cards that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of cards that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 3
= 105
Answer(s): 105
