Comparing Roshel
and Emma at first |
10x4 =
40 u |
3x4 =
12 u |
| Before |
8x5 =
40 u |
|
| Change |
- 7x5 =
- 35 u |
+ 7x5 =
+ 35 u |
| After |
1x5 =
5 u |
47 u |
30% =
30100 =
310The number of stickers that Roshel had at first is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Roshel had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 8 is 40.
Number of stickers that Emma had in the end
= 12 u + 35 u
= 47 u
Number of less stickers that Roshel had than Emma in the end
= 47 u - 5 u
= 42 u
Number of less stickers that Roshel had than Emma in the end in percent
=
4247 x 100%
≈ 89.4%
Answer(s): 89.4%
