Total number of cards that Jean and Fanny have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Jean gives to Fanny, both of them will have the same number of cards.
The total number of cards that Jean and Fanny have remains unchanged.
Number of cards that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of cards that Jean gives to Fanny
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 18
1 u = 18 ÷ 6 = 3
Total number of cards that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of cards that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 3
= 105
Answer(s): 105
