Total number of beads that Tammy and Lynn shared = 100%
If Tammy gave 48 beads to Lynn, both would have the same number of beads.
Number of beads that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of beads that Tammy gave to Lynn
= 66% - 50%
= 16%
16% → 48
1% → 48 ÷ 16 = 3
Number of beads that Lynn had
= 34%
= 34 x 3
= 102
Answer(s): 102
