Total number of pens that Olivia and Fanny shared = 100%
If Olivia gave 252 pens to Fanny, 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 Olivia gave to Fanny
= 86% - 50%
= 36%
36% → 252
1% → 252 ÷ 36 = 7
Number of pens that Fanny had
= 14%
= 14 x 7
= 98
Answer(s): 98
