Question

A sweatshirt is regularly $37.50. You use a coupon and only pay $30 for the sweatshirt.What percent do you save from the original price by using the coupon?

Answer 1

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following;

Original price of shirt = $37.50

Amount paid = $30

Discount price = $37.50 - $30

Discount price = $7.50

Percentage saved = Discount price/Original price * 100

Percentage saved = 7.50/37.50 * 100

Percentage saved = 750/37.50

percentage saved = 20%

Hence the percentage saved is 20%
