14The number of beads that Julie had at first is repeated. Make the number of beads that Julie had at first the same. LCM of 4 and 7 is 28.
Number of beads that Esther had in the end
= 7 u + 16 u
= 23 u
Number of more beads that Esther had than Julie in the end
= 23 u - 12 u
= 11 u
Number of more beads that Esther had than Julie in the end in percent
=
1112 x 100%
≈ 91.7%
Answer(s): 91.7%
