Answer 1

Eric,Tony,Jeff,Gary

Explanation:

Given the payments made by each individual below:

• Tony paid 35% of the bill.
• Eric paid 3/8 of the bill.
• Jeff paid 0.175 of the bill
• Gary paid 1/10 of the bill.

The most convenient way to order their payments is to convert each to percentage.

Eric paid 3/8 of the bill.

• In Percentage:
  `(3)/(8)X100=37.5\%`

Jeff paid 0.175 of the bill

• In percentage, 0.175 X100 =17.5%

Gary paid 1/10 of the bill.

In Percentage:
`(1)/(10)X100=10\%`

Therefore, the order from most to least is:

Eric(37.5%), Tony(35%),Jeff(17.5%),Gary(10%)
