    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.
