Comparing Wendy
and Jaslyn at first |
5x8 =
40 u |
1x8 =
8 u |
| Before |
8x5 =
40 u |

| Change |
- 5x5 =
- 25 u |
+ 5x5 =
+ 25 u |
| After |
3x5 =
15 u |
33 u |

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