Tracey Earns :
From Second Job, During Christmas Season (03 Months): 3*400
From First Job : 12*700

Therefore Percentage earnings through 2nd Job: 3*400/(12*700+3*400) => 3*4/(12*7+3*4)=> 12/(12*7+12)=> 12/(12*8)= 1/8 = 25/2%= 12.5%

The correct answer is D.

Regular job: Tracey earns $700 per month.
That is $8400 for the entire year

Second job: she earns $400 per month for 3 months
So, total $1200 for 3 months

Her total annual income = 8400+1200 = 9,600

Percent of her annual income that Tracey earns from her second job = 1200/9600*100 = 12.5 %

Total earning \(= 700 \times 12 + 400 \times 3\)

Additional earning \(= 400 \times 3\)

Required Percentage \(= \dfrac{400 \times 3}{700 \times 12 + 400 \times 3} \times 100 = \dfrac{100 \times 4\times 3}{100 \times 4\times 3\times (7 + 1)} \times 100= \dfrac{1}{8} \times 100 = 12.5\%\)
