Raeann and Min collected cards. Raeann gave 25% of her cards to Min and as a result, Min's cards increased by 30%. If Raeann had 108 cards left, find the number of cards Min should give to Raeann in the end so that both had an equal number of cards.

310The increase in the number of cards that Min had is repeated. Make the increase in the number of cards that Min had the same. LCM of 1 and 3 = 3
9 u = 108
1 u = 108 ÷ 9 = 12
Number of cards that Min had more than Raeann in the end
= 13 u - 9 u
= 4 u
Number of cards that Min should give to Raeann so that both had an equal number of cards in the end
= 4 u ÷ 2
= 2 u
= 2 x 12
= 24
Answer(s): 24
