Answer:

Francisco, Robert, Susan, Maria

Explanation:

To find this, we have to convert each fraction with the same denominator,

Hence,

Robert saved = 3/5

=> (3*20)/(5*20) = 60/100 of his money

Maria saved = 0.33 = 33/100 of her money

Susan saved = 10/20

=> (10*5)/(20*5) = 50/100 of her money

Francisco saved = 0.65 = 65/100 of his money

Hence the required list is: Francisco, Robert, Susan, Maria
