Total number of coins that Lucy and Yoko have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Lucy gives to Yoko, both of them will have the same number of coins.
The total number of coins that Lucy and Yoko have remains unchanged.
Number of coins that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of coins that Lucy gives to Yoko
= 110 u - 105 u
= 5 u
5 u = 60
1 u = 60 ÷ 5 = 12
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 12
= 972
Answer(s): 972
