- 5x5 =
- 25 u |
+ 5x5 =
+ 25 u |
| After |
3x5 =

15The number of stickers that Raeann had at first is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Raeann had at first the same. LCM of 5 and 8 is 40.
Number of stickers that Lynn had in the end
= 8 u + 25 u
= 33 u
Number of less stickers that Raeann had than Lynn in the end
= 33 u - 15 u
= 18 u
Number of less stickers that Raeann had than Lynn in the end in percent
=
1833 x 100%
≈ 54.5%
Answer(s): 54.5%
