Question

Jamie bought a necklace at a department store for 23.50. Later that day, she saw the same necklace at a local jewelry store for only 18.80. Find the percentage that Jamie would have saved on the necklace had she bought it at the jewelry store instead

Answer 1

She could have saved 20% percent

18.80/23.50 =0.8

1-0.8=0.2

Multiply by 100 to find the percentage.

100 time 0.2 = 20%

Hope this helps.
