- 4x10 =
- 40 u |
+ 4x10 =
+ 40 u |
| After |

310The number of pens that Nora had at first is repeated. Make the number of pens that Nora had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 7 is 70.
Number of pens that Zara had in the end
= 21 u + 40 u
= 61 u
Number of more pens that Zara had than Nora in the end
= 61 u - 30 u
= 31 u
Number of more pens that Zara had than Nora in the end in percent
=
3130 x 100%
≈ 103.3%
Answer(s): 103.3%
