Jane and Esther shared some stamps. Jane had 75% of what Esther had at first. Jane then gave Esther
25 of what she had. How many more percent did Esther have than Jane in the end? Correct the answer to 1 decimal place.

Jane |
Esther |
Comparing Jane and Esther at first |
4x5 = 20 u |
3x5 = 15 u |
Before |
5x4 = 20 u |
|
Change |
- 2x4 = - 8 u |
+ 2x4 = + 8 u |
After |
3x4 = 12 u |
23 u |
75% =
75100 =
34The number of stamps that Jane had at first is repeated. Make the number of stamps that Jane had at first the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
Number of stamps that Esther had in the end
= 15 u + 8 u
= 23 u
Number of more stamps that Esther had than Jane in the end
= 23 u - 12 u
= 11 u
Number of more stamps that Esther had than Jane in the end in percent
=
1112 x 100%
≈ 91.7%
Answer(s): 91.7%
