Total number of coins that Zara and Gem have
= 52 u + 40 u
= 92 u
After Zara gives to Gem, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Zara and Gem have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 92 u ÷ 2
= 46 u
Number of coins that Zara gives to Gem
= 52 u - 46 u
= 6 u
6 u = 54
1 u = 54 ÷ 6 = 9
Total number of coins that three of them have
= 92 u + 13 u
= 105 u
Average number of coins that each of them have
= 105 u ÷ 3
= 35 u
= 35 x 9
= 315
Answer(s): 315
