Answer:

Jennifer have $240.

Explanation:

It is given that Shaniqua is 25% less money than her older sister Jennifer.

Let Jennifer have x dollars.

Shaniqua have = (x - 25% of x) dollars

It is given that Shaniqua has $180.


x-(25)/(100)* x=180


x-0.25x=180


0.75x=180

Divide both sides by 0.75.


x=(180)/(0.75)


x=240

Therefore, Jennifer have $240.
