Total number of coins that Kimberly and Raeann have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Kimberly gives to Raeann, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Kimberly and Raeann have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of coins that Kimberly gives to Raeann
= 110 u - 105 u
= 5 u
5 u = 55
1 u = 55 ÷ 5 = 11
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 11
= 891
Answer(s): 891
