710The number of pens that Rachel had at first is repeated. Make the number of pens that Rachel had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 5 is 10.
Number of pens that Hazel had in the end
= 7 u + 4 u
= 11 u
Number of more pens that Hazel had than Rachel in the end
= 11 u - 6 u
= 5 u
Number of more pens that Hazel had than Rachel in the end in percent
=
56 x 100%
≈ 83.3%
Answer(s): 83.3%
