Total number of cards that Fanny and Gwen shared = 100%
If Fanny gave 54 cards to Gwen, 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 Fanny gave to Gwen
= 68% - 50%
= 18%
18% → 54
1% → 54 ÷ 18 = 3
Number of cards that Fanny had
= 68%
= 68 x 3
= 204
Answer(s): 204
