710 The number of cards that Yoko gave to Kylie is repeated. Make the number of cards that Yoko gave to Kylie the same. LCM of 1 and 7 is 7.
Number of cards that Yoko had in the end = 63 u
63 u = 189
1 u = 189 ÷ 63 = 3
Number of cards that Yoko and Kylie had at first
= 70 u + 10 u
= 80 u
= 80 x 3
= 240
Answer(s): 240
