    Hello,

    Penny==>a*10 (a is an integer)

    Kenny==>b*18 (b is an integer)

    a*10=b*18==>a=9*b/5 = = >b=5+n*5

    a=9 * (5+5*n) / 5=9 * (1+n) = 9+9n

    If n=0 then a=9 and b=5 : Number od cards: 9*10=10, 5*18=90

    if n=1 then a=19 and b=10: Number of cards: 19*10=190>100 to exclude.

    So number of cards=90
