Comparing Yoko
and Yen at first |
4x7 =
28 u |
3x7 =
21 u |
| Before |
7x4 =
28 u |
|
| Change |
- 3x4 =
- 12 u |
+ 3x4 =
+ 12 u |
| After |
4x4 =
16 u |
33 u |
75% =
75100 =
34The number of stamps that Yoko had at first is repeated. Make the number of stamps that Yoko had at first the same. LCM of 4 and 7 is 28.
Number of stamps that Yen had in the end
= 21 u + 12 u
= 33 u
Number of more stamps that Yen had than Yoko in the end
= 33 u - 16 u
= 17 u
Number of more stamps that Yen had than Yoko in the end in percent
=
1716 x 100%
≈ 106.3%
Answer(s): 106.3%
