Answer:
a) $32,000
b) 9/25
c) 36%
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello!
A) How much did you save?
Let's see. In order to find the savings, we must subtract the new price from the original.
You saved $32,000 (a pretty good deal!)
B) What fraction of the original price was this?
To find the fraction, we must divide the new price from the original.
- 18,000/50,000
- 9,000/25,000 => SImplify
- 9/25 => Simplify
It's 9 twenty-fifths of the original price.
C) What fraction of the original price was this?
Convert the fraction to percent
- 9/25
- 9*4/25*4 => Denominator of 100
- 36/100
- 36%
