Monkeys A, B, and C divide a pile of 219 coconuts. For each five that A took, B took three. For each six that A took, C took five. How many coconuts did B end up with?

Please help me. Thank you so much!

Let's see.

6*5*3=90=number A took

90(3/5)=54=number B took

90(5/6)=75=number C took

90+54+75=219
