LT#6 The Share-Out

Three children were counting the money that they had when they found that they each had only one value of coin. Each child had a different value of coin and each had different numbers of coins. They calculated that if each child gave twon of their coins to each of the other twon children, they would all have the same amount of money.

If they finished with $1.80 each, how many of each coin did each child have to start with?
