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.
