person 2

Step-by-step explanation:

OK so remember i = prt / 100

I = interest

p = principal

r = rate per annum

t = time period

for person 1, the amount he will receive is:

25 + (25)(3)(5)/100

= $28.75

for person 2, amt received is:

35 + (35)(2.5)(5)/100

= $39.375

short answer is person 2 gets more money hope this helps :)
