Total number of stickers that Elyse and Sarah have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Elyse gives to Sarah, both of them will have the same number of stickers.
The total number of stickers that Elyse and Sarah have remains unchanged.
Number of stickers that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of stickers that Elyse gives to Sarah
= 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
