Nicole and Olivia shared some pens. Nicole had 30% of what Olivia had at first. Nicole then gave Olivia
25 of what she had. How many more percent did Olivia have than Nicole in the end? Correct the answer to 1 decimal place.

Nicole |
Olivia |
Comparing Nicole and Olivia at first |
10x1 = 10 u |
3x1 = 3 u |
Before |
5x2 = 10 u |
|
Change |
- 2x2 = - 4 u |
+ 2x2 = + 4 u |
After |
3x2 = 6 u |
7 u |
30% =
30100 =
310The number of pens that Nicole had at first is repeated. Make the number of pens that Nicole had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 5 is 10.
Number of pens that Olivia had in the end
= 3 u + 4 u
= 7 u
Number of more pens that Olivia had than Nicole in the end
= 7 u - 6 u
= 1 u
Number of more pens that Olivia had than Nicole in the end in percent
=
16 x 100%
≈ 16.7%
Answer(s): 16.7%
