Total number of coins that Jane and Sabrina shared = 100%
If Jane gave 108 coins to Sabrina, both would have the same number of coins.
Number of coins that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of coins that Jane gave to Sabrina
= 68% - 50%
= 18%
18% → 108
1% → 108 ÷ 18 = 6
Number of coins that Jane had
= 68%
= 68 x 6
= 408
Answer(s): 408
