Answer: 150 coins
Step-by-step explanation: let the number of captain Sparrow and the crew = c
The number of gold = g
This mean each person will get g/c
If there were four fewer pirates, then each person would get 10 more coins means
g/(c - 4) = g/ c+ 10
cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)
However, if there were 50 fewer coins, then each person would get 5 fewer coins.
(g - 50)/c = g/c - 5
g - 50 = g - 5c
5c = 50
c = 10
Substitute c in equation 1
cg = (c-4)(g+10c) ....... (1)
10g = (10 - 4)(g + 10×10)
10g = 6× (g + 100)
10g = 6g + 600
4g = 600
g = 150 gold coin.
Therefore they dig up 150 gold coin
