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