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 money Emma has after Janet gives her $25, we first need to determine how much money Janet has initially and how much she has after giving to Emma.

1. **Initial amount Janet has:** $40
2. **Amount given to Emma:** $25

Now, we calculate the percentage of Janet's initial money that Emma has after receiving $25:

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

Substituting the values:

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

Now, perform the division:

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

Next, multiply by 100 to convert to a percentage:

\[
0.625 \times 100 = 62.5
\]

Thus, Emma has **62.5%** of Janet's initial money.
