Total number of stickers that Min and Cathy have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Min gives to Cathy, both of them will have the same number of stickers.
The total number of stickers that Min and Cathy have remains unchanged.
Number of stickers that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of stickers that Min gives to Cathy
= 110 u - 105 u
= 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
Total number of stickers that three of them have
= 210 u + 33 u
= 243 u
Average number of stickers that each of them have
= 243 u ÷ 3
= 81 u
= 81 x 12
= 972
Answer(s): 972
