Explanation:

Jasmine is willing to buy 40 pencils at 25 cents a piece. In total, this expense would represent 10 dollars.

25 cents= 0.25 dollars

40*0.25= 10 dollars

If she has 10 dollars to spend, and pencils are 10 cents (0.10 dollars) a piece, she would buy 100 pencils.

10/0.10 = 100

However, none of the other statements would allow her to use exactly 10 dollars to buy pencils.
