Total number of marbles that Roshel and Ivory have
= 110 u + 100 u
= 210 u
After Roshel gives to Ivory, both of them will have the same number of marbles.
The total number of marbles that Roshel and Ivory have remains unchanged.
Number of marbles that each of them will have
= 210 u ÷ 2
= 105 u
Number of marbles that Roshel gives to Ivory
= 110 u - 105 u
= 5 u
5 u = 15
1 u = 15 ÷ 5 = 3
Total number of marbles that three of them have
= 210 u + 33 u
= 243 u
Average number of marbles that each of them have
= 243 u ÷ 3
= 81 u
= 81 x 3
= 243
Answer(s): 243
