Let x be the number of coins in each of the 7 bags originally
So
7x + 53 > 200
7x > 147
x > 21
Since we have 8 bags, then the number of coins must be an even number > 200
Through a little trial and error, I find that the number of coins = 256.....and there were 29 coins in each of the 7 bags originally
Logic :
Let 29 be the number of coins in each of the 7 bags originally
Distribute 3 coins out of the 53 into each of the 7 bags
Then each of the 7 bags contains 32 coins and the 8th bag contains 53 - 7(3) = 53 - 21 = 32 coins
So....as found previously.....we must have had 29 x 7 = 203 coins originally
