45The number of stickers that Gillian had at first is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Gillian had at first the same. LCM of 5 and 8 is 40.
Number of stickers that Hilda had in the end
= 32 u + 25 u
= 57 u
Number of less stickers that Gillian had than Hilda in the end
= 57 u - 15 u
= 42 u
Number of less stickers that Gillian had than Hilda in the end in percent
=
4257 x 100%
≈ 73.7%
Answer(s): 73.7%
