Donald didn't have to guess at all. The fact that Scrooge said that Donald would be able to figure out the exact number of bags and coins per bag implies that the total number of coins can only be the perfect square of a prime number. The range of 150-200 means that the only possible number is 169 (132). Thus, Donald knew there were 13 bags and 13 coins per bag.
