Question

Lindsay is very excited to be getting a great deal on an iPad. It was originally $500 but she will only be paying $325. what percent did she save?

Answer 1

To find what she saved you need to subtract
500-325= 175
then take 175 divided by the original price (500) to get a percentage so
175÷500=0.35
0.35= 35%
so your answer is she saved 35%

Answer 2

325/500=x/100

That proportions to be 65%. But its asking what she saved.

So she saved 35% or $175
