Answer 1

Answer:

21.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Money spent by Jodie for buying English reading books = 25% lesser than that of Claudia

and

Money spent by Gianna is 9% lesser than that of Claudia.

To find:

By what percent, Gianna spent more than Jodie ?

Solution:

Let the money spent by Claudia on her English books = 100

Now, as per question statement:

Money spent by Jodie = 100 - $\frac{9}{100}\times 100$ = 75

Money spent by Gianna = 100 - $\frac{25}{100}\times 100$ = 91

Now, to find the answer:

$\dfrac{\text{Difference between money spent by Gianna and Jodie}}{\text{Money spent by Jodie}}\times 100$

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{91-75}{75}\times 100\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{16}{75}\times 100\\\Rightarrow \bold{21.3\%}$

Therefore, Gianna spent 21.3% more than the amount that was spent by Jodie.
