Help figuring out how many circles needed

[Ayvah]

If you have 3 circles, each with 4 circles surrounding them x 3

1st set of circles, 4 surrounding circles have 100 to total circle in the middle = 400

Transfer 200 from 400 to 2nd set of circles = 200

2nd set of circles, 4 surrounding circles have 200 to total circle in the middle = 800

Transfer 300 from 800 to 3rd set of circles = 500

3rd set of circles, 4 surrounding circles have 300 to total circle in the middle = 1200

1200+500+200=1900

How many times would this process need to happen to get 9 instances totalling 1900 each if you have 54 original 100 circles

… 54 original 100 circles …

Hello Ayvah. It would help understanding, if you were to post some diagrams. For example, what is a 'surrounding' circle? Are you talking about circles that are tangent to one another? Are you talking about concentric rings?

When you say x 3, are you talking about multiplication? If so, then what exactly is being multiplied by 3?

Regarding Transfer 200, what is being transferred? Are you talking about area?

I don't understand "54 original 100 circles". We started with three "original" circles, each surrounded by four additional circles. Are you now talking about 54 circles, each surrounded by 100 circles? Or, perhaps, 100 refers to area somehow?

Please provide more detail. Thanks.
