Jane and David had identical chocolate bars.

David ate 78 of his chocolate bar.
Jane ate more of her chocolate bar than David.
What fraction of her chocolate bar could Jane have eaten?

Answer:

Explanation:

I'm assuming you meant "David at 78% of his chocolate bar" which means he at 78/100 of his chocolate bar. So if Jane ate more she could've eaten n/100 of her chocolate bar where
78 < n \leq 100. Greater than 78 since David at 78/100 and less than or equal to 100 since 100/100 means Jane at the entire thing at 101/100 wouldn't make any sense.
