Answer 1

$7.50

Explanation:

We have been given that Sara buys a sweater that costs $30. The store is having a 25% off sale on everything in the store.

To find the amount of money Sara saved from the sale, we need to figure out 25% of $30.

`\text{The amount of money saved by Sara}=(25)/(100)* \$30`

`\text{The amount of money saved by Sara}=0.25* \$30`

`\text{The amount of money saved by Sara}=\$7.50`

Therefore, Sara saved an amount of $7.50 from the sale.
