Comparing Nicole
and Linda at first |
4x7 =
28 u |
3x7 =
21 u |
| Before |
7x4 =
28 u |

| Change |
- 4x4 =
- 16 u |
+ 4x4 =
+ 16 u |
| After |
3x4 =
12 u |
37 u |
75% =
75100 =
34The number of stamps that Nicole had at first is repeated. Make the number of stamps that Nicole had at first the same. LCM of 4 and 7 is 28.
Number of stamps that Linda had in the end
= 21 u + 16 u
= 37 u
Number of more stamps that Linda had than Nicole in the end
= 37 u - 12 u
= 25 u
Number of more stamps that Linda had than Nicole in the end in percent
=
2512 x 100%
≈ 208.3%
Answer(s): 208.3%
