Answer: She has saved 3/5 of the total price

To find this answer...

We need to set up our given information as a fraction
1200/2000

Now, we need to find a number that will go into both 1200 and 2000 (with no remainder)

400 is a great example

you can divide 1200 ÷ 400 to get 3
you can divide 2009 ÷ 400 to get 5

3/5 is the simplified answer of 1200/2000

Hope this helps!
