Total number of coins that Shiyun and Gwen shared = 100%
If Shiyun gave 126 coins to Gwen, both would have the same number of coins.
Number of coins that each would have in the end
= 100% ÷ 2
= 50%
Number of coins that Shiyun gave to Gwen
= 64% - 50%
= 14%
14% → 126
1% → 126 ÷ 14 = 9
Number of coins that Gwen had
= 36%
= 36 x 9
= 324
Answer(s): 324
