Total number of stamps that Shiyun and Olivia have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Shiyun gives to Olivia, both of them will have the same number of stamps.
The total number of stamps that Shiyun and Olivia have remains unchanged.
Number of stamps that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of stamps that Shiyun gives to Olivia
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 24
1 u = 24 ÷ 6 = 4
Total number of stamps that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of stamps that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 4
= 140
Answer(s): 140
