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