Question

Felicia is buying a Crockpot that retails for $125. She has a coupon for $40 off of any item over $100. Calculate her percent savings if she uses the coupon

Answer 1

Answer:

32%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cost of Crockpot = $125

Coupon = $40

Coupon applies on items greater than $100

Required

Percent saved if coupon is applied.

If she applies coupon on the Crockpot, then she'll be saving $40.

Percent Savings = Amount Saved / Total Amount

Percent Savings = $40/$125

Percent Savings = 0.32

Convert to Percentage

Percent Savings = 0.32 * 100%

Percent Savings = 32%.

Hence, she'd save 32% if she applies the coupon of $40 on the Crockpot

Answer 2

Answer:

percentage savings = 32%

Step-by-step explanation:

She is buying a Crock-pot that retails for $125 . She has a coupon for $40 off any time she bought over $100 item.

Her percentage saving can be calculated below.

The price of the crock-pot is $125 but the amount she bought it base on coupon she has will be $125 - $40 = $85.

The normal price of the crock-pot is $125 and she bought it base on her coupon for $85, then the percentage change is

percentage saving = amount saved/normal price × 100

percentage savings = 40/125 × 100

percentage savings = 4000/125

percentage savings = 32%

The amount you bought the crock-pot was less than the original price hence Felicia saved 32% of the original price.
