Answer D

To find the Ratio of Jill's Balance to Ginny's we need to find about Dawn's.

Let Dwan's = D = 100

Jane = .60 of 100 = 60

Ginny's = .55 of 100 = 55

Ratio = J/G = 60/55 = 12/11

Solution:

If we let x = Dawn’s bank balance, then Jill’s bank balance is 0.6x and Ginny’s bank balance is 0.55x. Therefore, the ratio of Jill's balance to Ginny's is 0.6x/0.55x = 0.6/0.55 = 60/55 = 12/11.

Alternate Solution:

Assume that Dawn has $100. Then Jill has 0.6 x 100 = $60, and Ginny has 0.55 x 100 = $55. Thus the ratio of Jill’s balance to Ginny’s is 60/55 = 12/11.

Answer: D
