Question

Bob bought a $800 TV on sale for $650. What is the percent he saved?

Answer 1

18.75%

Explanation:

Since you want to know what percent he saved, first you have to figure out how much he saved.

800 - 650 = 150

Then to find the percent, find how much 150 is of 800.

`(150)/(800) = 0.1875`

Since we're finding a percentage, multiply by a 100.

0.1875 × 100 = 18.75%

If it said to round, the answer would be 19%, but it doesn't, so keep it at 18.75%.
