If you note that in this particular question we are dealing with fractions / percentages / decimals / ratios, we can solve using ratios (units) making it more efficient. I would teach at first with a model and for those students who are comfortable they can try this too ....
J : R
1 : 1 (End is the same)
3 : 3 (R gave 2/5, so R left with 3/5)
1 : 5 (J gave back 2u to R)
3 : 15 (J gave 2/5, J left with 3/5)
5 : 13 (R gave 2u back to J)
8u = 144
1u = 18
J at first: 5 x 18 = 90

Chris Rogers.. I like your working.. though not all kids may understand.. Working by ratio is less messy comparing to models method and also less time consuming...

Unitary method.
5 units= 285-120=165(extra units comparing B and C is 5 units; extra quantity is 165)
1 unit=165÷5=33 (B)
Total for A,B&C: 285+33=318
Average of A,B&C: 318÷3=106
