710The number of stickers that Tiffany had at first is repeated. Make the number of stickers that Tiffany had at first the same. LCM of 10 and 7 is 70.
Number of stickers that Kimberly had in the end
= 49 u + 40 u
= 89 u
Number of less stickers that Tiffany had than Kimberly in the end
= 89 u - 30 u
= 59 u
Number of less stickers that Tiffany had than Kimberly in the end in percent
=
5989 x 100%
≈ 66.3%
Answer(s): 66.3%
