Emma and Xylia shared some pens. Emma had 60% of what Xylia had at first. Emma then gave Xylia
47 of what she had. How many more percent did Xylia have than Emma in the end? Correct the answer to 1 decimal place.

Emma |
Xylia |
Comparing Emma and Xylia at first |
5x7 = 35 u |
3x7 = 21 u |
Before |
7x5 = 35 u |
|
Change |
- 4x5 = - 20 u |
+ 4x5 = + 20 u |
After |
3x5 = 15 u |
41 u |
60% =
60100 =
35The number of pens that Emma had at first is repeated. Make the number of pens that Emma had at first the same. LCM of 5 and 7 is 35.
Number of pens that Xylia had in the end
= 21 u + 20 u
= 41 u
Number of more pens that Xylia had than Emma in the end
= 41 u - 15 u
= 26 u
Number of more pens that Xylia had than Emma in the end in percent
=
2615 x 100%
≈ 173.3%
Answer(s): 173.3%
