Total number of beads that Roshel and Min shared = 100%
If Roshel gave 312 beads to Min, 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 Roshel gave to Min
= 89% - 50%
= 39%
39% → 312
1% → 312 ÷ 39 = 8
Number of beads that Min had
= 11%
= 11 x 8
= 88
Answer(s): 88
