(1) The percentage of gold medals in the total number of medals is: (28÷59)× 100%≈47.5%.

(2) The percentage of silver medals in the total number of medals is (16 ÷ 59) ×100% ≈ 27.1%.

The percentage of bronze medals in total medals is: (15 ÷ 59) ×100% ≈ 25.4%.

So bronze medal is less than silver medal: 27. 1%-25.4% = 1.7%.
