Answer:

Noah is right

Explanation:

Diego has an amount= 75% of $ 10

Diego has an amount= 75% × $ 10

Diego has an amount=
(75)/(100) × $ 10

Diego has an amount= 0.75 × $ 10

Diego has an amount= $7.5

Noah has an amount= 25% of $ 30

Noah has an amount= 25% × $ 30

Noah has an amount=
(25)/(100) × $ 30

Noah has an amount= 0.25 × $ 30

Noah has an amount= $7.5

Both ave an equal amount i.e, $ 7.5

So, Noah is right
