Answer:
Jennifer is losing purchasing power by 2%.
Explanation:
An increase in prices indicates a decrease in the purchasing power of the consumers. An increase in income means an increase in the purchasing power of the consumers.
A 5% raise means that Jennifer's income will increase by 5% and so will her purchasing power. But at the same time, a price rise by 7% means that her purchasing power will decrease by 7%.
This means that overall her purchasing power will decrease by 2%.

Explanation:
In contributory negligence, the defense completely bars plaintiffs from any recovery if they contribute to their own injury through their own negligence.
<em>If this law of contributory negligence applies to the state, then Ramona will receive no compensation for the damages she sustained. </em>
<em>
</em>
In comparative negligence, the plaintiff's damages is award by the percentage of fault that the fact-finder assigns to the plaintiff for his or her own injury i.e the plaintiff's damage compensation is reduced by percentage of his/her percentage of fault.
<em>If this law of comparative negligence applies to this state, then Ramona will get 100% - 20% = 80% of the damages incurred in the accident, from John</em>
this is 80% of $100,00 which is equal to <em>$80,000</em>
