Answer:
1500
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Total number of marbles held by Layala and Zahra = 2700
Ratio = 2 : 7
Layala's share of marbles : (2 / (2+7)) * 2700
= 2/9 * 2700
= 600
Zahra's share of marble : (7 / (2+ 7)) * 2700
= 7 / 9 * 2700
= 2100
Hence, Zahra must have given away (2100 - x) = 600
2100 - 600
= 1500 marbles, so that both Zahra and Layala have the same number of marbles
