Total number of beads that Kylie and Yoko shared = 100%
If Kylie gave 340 beads to Yoko, both would have the same number of beads.
Number of beads that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of beads that Kylie gave to Yoko
= 84% - 50%
= 34%
34% → 340
1% → 340 ÷ 34 = 10
Number of beads that Kylie had
= 84%
= 84 x 10
= 840
Answer(s): 840
