Hilda and Jean collected cards. Hilda gave 25% of her cards to Jean and as a result, Jean's cards increased by 30%. If Hilda had 81 cards left, find the number of cards Jean should give to Hilda in the end so that both had an equal number of cards.

310The increase in the number of cards that Jean had is repeated. Make the increase in the number of cards that Jean had the same. LCM of 1 and 3 = 3
9 u = 81
1 u = 81 ÷ 9 = 9
Number of cards that Jean had more than Hilda in the end
= 13 u - 9 u
= 4 u
Number of cards that Jean should give to Hilda so that both had an equal number of cards in the end
= 4 u ÷ 2
= 2 u
= 2 x 9
= 18
Answer(s): 18
