The movement of thermal energy is controlled by the laws of thermodynamics. the specific heat of substances. the circulation of the atmosphere. the production of greenhouse gases.

The correct answer is "the laws of thermodynamics".

Step-by-step explanation:

When two bodies having unequal temperature are placed in contact, heat transfers from the body having higher temperature to the one having lower temperature till the two bodies attain thermal equilibrium. Suppose, body A and B are in thermal equilibrium with body C, the body A and B would be in thermal equilibrium with each other.

There is no heat transfer between the two systems when they are at the same temperature.

Therefore, the movement of thermal energy is controlled by the laws of thermodynamics.          

So what you can do is divide 53.10 by 1735 to get percentage

0.0306051873 is your decimal, so move it right 2 places to get

3.06% of his money.

You asked for the nearest 10th of a percent, so you round that to

3.1%
