Yoko |
Zara |
Comparing Yoko and Zara 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 beads that Yoko had at first is repeated. Make the number of beads that Yoko had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 8 is 40.
Number of beads that Zara had in the end
= 12 u + 35 u
= 47 u
Number of less beads that Yoko had than Zara in the end
= 47 u - 5 u
= 42 u
Number of less beads that Yoko had than Zara in the end in percent
=
4247 x 100%
≈ 89.4%
Answer(s): 89.4%
