Total number of beads that Shiyun and Jane shared = 100%
If Shiyun gave 185 beads to Jane, 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 Shiyun gave to Jane
= 87% - 50%
= 37%
37% → 185
1% → 185 ÷ 37 = 5
Number of beads that Jane had
= 13%
= 13 x 5
= 65
Answer(s): 65
