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%
