Total number of cards that Marion and Elyse shared = 100%
If Marion gave 380 cards to Elyse, both would have the same number of cards.
Number of cards that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of cards that Marion gave to Elyse
= 88% - 50%
= 38%
38% → 380
1% → 380 ÷ 38 = 10
Number of cards that Elyse had
= 12%
= 12 x 10
= 120
Answer(s): 120
