Total number of coins that Gem and Olivia have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Gem gives to Olivia, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Gem and Olivia have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of coins that Gem gives to Olivia
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 36
1 u = 36 ÷ 6 = 6
Total number of coins that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of coins that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 6
= 210
Answer(s): 210
