Total number of stickers that Zoe and Opal have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Zoe gives to Opal, both of them will have the same number of stickers.
The total number of stickers that Zoe and Opal have remains unchanged.
Number of stickers that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of stickers that Zoe gives to Opal
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 30
1 u = 30 ÷ 6 = 5
Total number of stickers that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of stickers that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 5
= 175
Answer(s): 175
