Question

a. 0.625%
b. 1.60%
c. 55%
d. 62.5%

Answer 1

To determine what percent of Jenna's money Emma has after receiving $25, we can follow these steps:

1. **Identify Jenna's total money**: Jenna has $40.
2. **Identify the amount Emma received**: Emma receives $25.
3. **Calculate the percentage of Jenna's total money that Emma has** using the formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Amount Emma has}}{\text{Total amount Jenna has}} \right) \times 100
\]

Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{25}{40} \right) \times 100
\]
\[
\text{Percentage} = 0.625 \times 100 = 62.5\%
\]

Thus, Emma has 62.5% of Jenna's money. The correct answer is:

**d. 62.5%**
