Total number of erasers that Winnie and Raeann shared = 100%
If Winnie gave 208 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 Winnie gave to Raeann
= 76% - 50%
= 26%
26% → 208
1% → 208 ÷ 26 = 8
Number of erasers that Raeann had
= 24%
= 24 x 8
= 192
Answer(s): 192
