Comparing Barbara
and Dana at first |
10x1 =
10 u |
3x1 =
3 u |
| Before |
5x2 =
10 u |

| Change |
- 2x2 =
- 4 u |
+ 2x2 =
+ 4 u |
| After |
3x2 =

310The number of cards that Barbara had at first is repeated. Make the number of cards that Barbara had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 5 is 10.
Number of cards that Dana had in the end
= 3 u + 4 u
= 7 u
Number of more cards that Dana had than Barbara in the end
= 7 u - 6 u
= 1 u
Number of more cards that Dana had than Barbara in the end in percent
=
16 x 100%
≈ 16.7%
Answer(s): 16.7%
