Total number of coins that Yoko and Victoria shared = 100%
If Yoko gave 192 coins to Victoria, 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 Yoko gave to Victoria
= 74% - 50%
= 24%
24% → 192
1% → 192 ÷ 24 = 8
Number of coins that Victoria had
= 26%
= 26 x 8
= 208
Answer(s): 208
