Total number of beads that Erika and Abi shared = 100%
If Erika gave 204 beads to Abi, 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 Erika gave to Abi
= 84% - 50%
= 34%
34% → 204
1% → 204 ÷ 34 = 6
Number of beads that Abi had
= 16%
= 16 x 6
= 96
Answer(s): 96
