Emma and Penelope shared some beads. Emma had 25% of what Penelope had at first. Emma then gave Penelope
47 of what she had. How many more percent did Penelope have than Emma in the end? Correct the answer to 1 decimal place.

Emma |
Penelope |
Comparing Emma and Penelope at first |
4x7 = 28 u |
1x7 = 7 u |
Before |
7x4 = 28 u |
|
Change |
- 4x4 = - 16 u |
+ 4x4 = + 16 u |
After |
3x4 = 12 u |
23 u |
25% =
25100 =
14The number of beads that Emma had at first is repeated. Make the number of beads that Emma had at first the same. LCM of 4 and 7 is 28.
Number of beads that Penelope had in the end
= 7 u + 16 u
= 23 u
Number of more beads that Penelope had than Emma in the end
= 23 u - 12 u
= 11 u
Number of more beads that Penelope had than Emma in the end in percent
=
1112 x 100%
≈ 91.7%
Answer(s): 91.7%
