Total number of coins that Sabrina and Anna have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Sabrina gives to Anna, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Sabrina and Anna have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of coins that Sabrina gives to Anna
= 110 u - 105 u
= 5 u
5 u = 40
1 u = 40 ÷ 5 = 8
Total number of coins that three of them have
= 210 u + 33 u
= 243 u
Average number of coins that each of them have
= 243 u ÷ 3
= 81 u
= 81 x 8
= 648
Answer(s): 648
