Total number of pens that Fiona and Raeann shared = 100%
If Fiona gave 126 pens to Raeann, both would have the same number of pens.
Number of pens that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of pens that Fiona gave to Raeann
= 68% - 50%
= 18%
18% → 126
1% → 126 ÷ 18 = 7
Number of pens that Raeann had
= 32%
= 32 x 7
= 224
Answer(s): 224
