To calculate the percentage saved by ordering 800 motors every two months instead of 400 motors per month, we need to know the unit price of the motors and the cost savings associated with the larger order.

Let's assume that the unit price of the motors is $100. If you order 400 motors per month, the total cost is:

400 motors/month x $100/motor = $40,000/month

If you order 800 motors every two months, the total cost is:

800 motors/2 months x $100/motor = $40,000/2 months = $20,000/month

The cost savings associated with the larger order is:

$40,000/month - $20,000/month = $20,000/month

To calculate the percentage saved, we divide the cost savings by the original cost and multiply by 100:

$20,000/month / $40,000/month x 100 = 50%

Therefore, you can save 50% by ordering 800 motors every two months instead of 400 motors per month.
