Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Since the amount needed to start the

business is $51000 and Julie and Kristen invested in the ratio of 3:10 respectively.

Amount invested by Julie = 3/(3+10) × $51000

= 3/13 × $51000

= $11769.23

Amount invested by Kristen = 10/(3+10) × $51000

= 10/13 × $51000

= $39230.77

The percent that is owned by Kristen will be:

= ($39230.77 / $51000) × 100

= 76.92%

= 77% approximately
