Total number of coins = 193 Let us assume the number coins in the red jar = x Then The number of coins in the blue jar = x + 27 Then x + x + 27 = 193 2x + 27 = 193 2x = 193 - 27 2x = 166 x = 166/2 = 83 So there are 83 coins in the red jar Now the number of coins in the blue jar = x + 27 = 83 + 27 = 110 So there are a total of 110 coins in the blue jar and 83 coins in the red jar.
