Video Summary

A group of pirates divided 200 gold and 600 silver coins among officers, sailors, and cabin boys. Each officer received 5 gold and 10 silver coins, each sailor 3 gold and 8 silver coins, and each cabin boy 1 gold and 6 silver coins. Noticing that each pirate received 5 more silver than gold, we find 400 more silver coins than gold overall, calculated by subtracting gold from silver (600 - 200 = 400). Dividing the difference (400) by 5 gives the number of pirates as 80. Thus, the total number of pirates is D, 80.
