Question

Janet has 40$. She gives 25$ to Emma. What percent of Janet's money does Emma have?

Answer 1

To find out what percent of Janet's original amount of money Emma has after receiving $25, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Amount Emma has}}{\text{Janet's original amount}} \right) \times 100
\]

Using the values from the problem:

- Amount Emma has = $25
- Janet's original amount = $40

Plugging in these values:

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

Now, calculate the fraction:

\[
\frac{25}{40} = 0.625
\]

Now convert this to a percentage:

\[
0.625 \times 100 = 62.5\%
\]

Therefore, Emma has **62.5%** of Janet's original amount of money.
