Answer: Julien would have to give 177 portugals to his friends
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many portugals Julien would have to give to his two friends, let's break down the information given in the question:
- Chris picked 198 portugals.
- Julien picked 378 portugals.
- Johnson picked 164 portugals.
The goal is to distribute the portugals in a way that both Chris and Johnson receive the same amount, and Julien receives 20 more than his two friends.
To start, we need to find the average number of portugals that Chris and Johnson would receive. Since they are supposed to receive the same amount, we can add the number of portugals they picked and divide by 2:
(198 + 164) ÷ 2 = 362 ÷ 2 = 181 portugals
Now, we know that Julien should receive 20 more portugals than his two friends. So, we add 20 to the average amount:
181 + 20 = 201 portugals
Since Julien initially picked 378 portugals, he would need to give some of them to his two friends. To find out how many portugals he needs to give, we subtract the new amount he should receive from what he originally picked:
378 - 201 = 177 portugals
Therefore, Julien would have to give 177 portugals to his two friends.
