Explanation:

Step1: Calculate Tara's donation

To find Tara's donation, we use the formula \( \text{Donation}=\text{Savings}\times\text{Percentage} \). Tara's savings is \( \$80 \) and the percentage is \( 75\%=\frac{75}{100} = 0.75 \). So, \( 80\times0.75 = 60 \).

Step2: Calculate Jada's donation

Jada's savings is \( \$125 \) and the percentage is \( 40\%=\frac{40}{100}=0.4 \). Using the formula \( \text{Donation}=\text{Savings}\times\text{Percentage} \), we get \( 125\times0.4=50 \).

Step3: Compare the donations for Part B

Since \( 60>50 \), Tara donates more than Jada.

Answer:

Tara donates \( \$60 \).
Jada donates \( \$50 \).
For Part B: Tara donates more of her savings than Jada.
