34The number of buttons that Dana had at first is repeated. Make the number of buttons that Dana had at first the same. LCM of 4 and 5 is 20.
Number of buttons that Kylie had in the end
= 15 u + 8 u
= 23 u
Number of more buttons that Kylie had than Dana in the end
= 23 u - 12 u
= 11 u
Number of more buttons that Kylie had than Dana in the end in percent
=
1112 x 100%
≈ 91.7%
Answer(s): 91.7%
