    The answer is A. Kim paid the most.

    x - the total amount

    k - Kim's amount

    s - Sherri's amount

    j - Judy's amount

    k + s + j = x

    k = 3/7 x = 0.43 x

    s = 35%x = 0.35x

    j = x - k - s = x - 0.43x - 0.35 x = x - 0.78x = 0.22x

    So:

    0.43x > 0.35x > 0.22x

    k > s > j
