1. **Problem Statement:** Arrange the students from lowest to highest based on money spent and calculate the percentage of the $150 gift certificate each person used.
2. **Step 1: Arrange from lowest to highest money spent.**
- Meryl Streep: $67.40
- Justin Bieber: $72.83
- Denzel Washington: $100.97
- Uma Thurman: $127.00
- Jaoquin Pheonix: $138.90
3. **Step 2: Calculate the percentage of the gift certificate used by each person.**
The formula for percentage used is:
$$\text{Percentage used} = \left(\frac{\text{Money Spent}}{150}\right) \times 100$$
4. **Calculations:**
- Denzel Washington:
$$\frac{100.97}{150} \times 100 = \frac{100.97}{150} \times 100$$
$$= \cancel{\frac{100.97}{150}} \times 100 = 67.31\%$$
- Justin Bieber:
$$\frac{72.83}{150} \times 100 = 48.55\%$$
- Uma Thurman:
$$\frac{127.00}{150} \times 100 = 84.67\%$$
- Meryl Streep:
$$\frac{67.40}{150} \times 100 = 44.93\%$$
- Jaoquin Pheonix:
$$\frac{138.90}{150} \times 100 = 92.60\%$$
5. **Final answers:**
