Total number of pens that Winnie and Jade shared = 100%
If Winnie gave 160 pens to Jade, both would have the same number of pens.
Number of pens that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of pens that Winnie gave to Jade
= 66% - 50%
= 16%
16% → 160
1% → 160 ÷ 16 = 10
Number of pens that Jade had
= 34%
= 34 x 10
= 340
Answer(s): 340
