Total number of coins that Anna and Linda have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Anna gives to Linda, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Anna and Linda have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of coins that Anna gives to Linda
= 110 u - 105 u
= 5 u
5 u = 55
1 u = 55 ÷ 5 = 11
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 11
= 891
Answer(s): 891
