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