Usha has 25% as many erasers as Fanny. Fanny has 130% as many erasers as Shiyun. If Fanny gives 54 erasers to Shiyun, both will then have an equal number of erasers. Find the average number of erasers the three of them have.

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