Total number of cards that Wendy and Abi shared = 100%
If Wendy gave 63 cards to Abi, 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 Wendy gave to Abi
= 71% - 50%
= 21%
21% → 63
1% → 63 ÷ 21 = 3
Number of cards that Abi had
= 29%
= 29 x 3
= 87
Answer(s): 87
