Total number of pens that Lynn and Jade shared = 100%
If Lynn gave 104 pens to Jade, both would have the same number of pens.
Number of pens that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of pens that Lynn gave to Jade
= 63% - 50%
= 13%
13% → 104
1% → 104 ÷ 13 = 8
Number of pens that Jade had
= 37%
= 37 x 8
= 296
Answer(s): 296
