Answer 1

c

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer is C) Jessica has driven exactly 360 miles out of a total of 400 miles

Explanation:

Since 90% is equal to 0.9 of 1

And you need to figure out what statement is true

You would take the largest number from each answer choice and multiply it by 0.9

For Example: In answer choice A), it says Jessica has driven exactly 40 miles out of a total of 360 miles.

So you would multiply 360 by 0.9

Which gives you 324

Which is not 40

Therefore it is wrong
