Total number of cards that Kylie and Rachel shared = 100%
If Kylie gave 360 cards to Rachel, 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 Kylie gave to Rachel
= 86% - 50%
= 36%
36% → 360
1% → 360 ÷ 36 = 10
Number of cards that Kylie had
= 86%
= 86 x 10
= 860
Answer(s): 860
