Total number of cards that Roshel and Emma shared = 100%
If Roshel gave 360 cards to Emma, 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 Roshel gave to Emma
= 86% - 50%
= 36%
36% → 360
1% → 360 ÷ 36 = 10
Number of cards that Emma had
= 14%
= 14 x 10
= 140
Answer(s): 140
