Comparing Gem
and Yen at first |
5x8 =
40 u |
4x8 =
32 u |
| Before |
8x5 =
40 u |
|
| Change |
- 7x5 =
- 35 u |
+ 7x5 =
+ 35 u |
| After |
1x5 =
5 u |
67 u |
80% =
80100 =
45The number of coins that Gem had at first is repeated. Make the number of coins that Gem had at first the same. LCM of 5 and 8 is 40.
Number of coins that Yen had in the end
= 32 u + 35 u
= 67 u
Number of less coins that Gem had than Yen in the end
= 67 u - 5 u
= 62 u
Number of less coins that Gem had than Yen in the end in percent
=
6267 x 100%
≈ 92.5%
Answer(s): 92.5%
