Each jeweller has 1 of each jewell with the addition of their orignal gems -3. The ruby jeweller has 4 more rubies than anyone else, the sapphire jeweller has 6 extra, the pearl jeweller has 96 extra and the diamond jeweller has 1 extra diamond, meaning 4 rubies = 6 sapphires = 96 pearls = 1 diamond. If you divide 96 by 4 you get 24. This means that 1 ruby is worth 24 pearls. If you do this with every gem you will find 1 diamond is worth 96 pearls, 1 sapphire is worth 16 pearls and 1 ruby is worth 24 pearls. To find how much each jeweller gained or lost we must find out how much they had. All we need to do is convert their previous gems to pearls. The ruby jeweller had 192 pearls, the sapphire jeweller had 160 pearls, the pearls jeweller had 100 pearls and the diamond jeweller had 480 pearls. Now to find their gains/losses. All the jewellers now have 233 pearls. This means the ruby jeweller gained 41 pearls, the sapphire jeweller gained 73 pearls, the pearls jeweller gained 133 and the diamond jeweller lost 247 pearls.
