Total number of buttons that Dana and Jade shared = 100%
If Dana gave 130 buttons to Jade, both would have the same number of buttons.
Number of buttons that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of buttons that Dana gave to Jade
= 76% - 50%
= 26%
26% → 130
1% → 130 ÷ 26 = 5
Number of buttons that Dana had
= 76%
= 76 x 5
= 380
Answer(s): 380
