Total number of cards that Xandra and Yoko shared = 100%
If Xandra gave 84 cards to Yoko, both would have the same number of cards.
Number of cards that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of cards that Xandra gave to Yoko
= 64% - 50%
= 14%
14% → 84
1% → 84 ÷ 14 = 6
Number of cards that Xandra had
= 64%
= 64 x 6
= 384
Answer(s): 384
