Al saves pennies . He agrees to give 1/3 of his pennies to Bev if she would give 1/3 of what she got from Al to Carl and if Carl in turn would give 1/3 of what he got from Bev to Danni. Bev, Carl and Danni agreed and recived 9 pennies. hOW MANY PENNIES DID aL INTINALLY HAVE?

Answer 1

It's not clear who received 9 pennies.
Assuming Danni received 9 pennies, Carl got 9*3=27 pennies from Bev.
Therefore Bev got 3*27=81 pennies from Al.
Al had collected 81*3=243 pennies.

Answer 2
