Total number of coins that Nicole and Shiyun have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Nicole gives to Shiyun, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Nicole and Shiyun have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of coins that Nicole gives to Shiyun
= 110 u - 105 u
= 5 u
5 u = 20
1 u = 20 ÷ 5 = 4
Total number of coins that three of them have
= 210 u + 33 u
= 243 u
Average number of coins that each of them have
= 243 u ÷ 3
= 81 u
= 81 x 4
= 324
Answer(s): 324
