Answer 1

Answer:

$25\%$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: you go shopping for a new futon bed for your apartment/home.The model you really like happens to be on sale for $\ 675$. It's original price is $\ 900$.

To Find: What percent of the original price will you save if you purchase it.

Solution:

Original price of model  $=\ 900$

discounted price of model on sale $=\ 675$

Now,

money saved by buying model from sale $=\text{original price}-\text{price on sale}$

                              $900-675$

                              $\ 225$

percentage of the original price saved $=\frac{\text{Amount saved}}{\text{original price of model}}\times100$

putting values

                              $\frac{225}{900}\times100$

                              $\frac{225}{9}$

                              $25\%$

$25\%$ of original price can be saved if model is purchased from sale.
