Total number of erasers that Fanny and Raeann shared = 100%
If Fanny gave 104 erasers to Raeann, both would have the same number of erasers.
Number of erasers that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of erasers that Fanny gave to Raeann
= 76% - 50%
= 26%
26% → 104
1% → 104 ÷ 26 = 4
Number of erasers that Raeann had
= 24%
= 24 x 4
= 96
Answer(s): 96
