    15.9%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Jocelyn invests $8,600 in a partnership that has 4 other partners. The total investment of all the partners is $54,200. Therefore, Jocelyn owns 15.9% rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

    Below is my work:

    8600 : 54200 = 0.15867

    Now we have to find the percentage from the decimal.

    0.15867 ⋅ 100 = 15.867%

    Finally, 15.867% rounded to the nearest tenth = 15.9%.

    Divide the amount she invested by the total investment:

    8600 / 54200 = 0.15867

    Multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percentage:

    0.15867 x 100 = 15.867%

    Round to the nearest tenth = 15.9%
