Comparing Eva
and Kylie at first |
10x4 =
40 u |
7x4 =
28 u |
| Before |
8x5 =
40 u |

| Change |
- 5x5 =
- 25 u |
+ 5x5 =
+ 25 u |
| After |
3x5 =
15 u |
53 u |
70% =
70100 =
710The number of stamps that Eva had at first is repeated. Make the number of stamps that Eva had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 8 is 40.
Number of stamps that Kylie had in the end
= 28 u + 25 u
= 53 u
Number of more stamps that Kylie had than Eva in the end
= 53 u - 15 u
= 38 u
Number of more stamps that Kylie had than Eva in the end in percent
=
3815 x 100%
≈ 253.3%
Answer(s): 253.3%
