Question

A laptop computer that has a regular price of $500 is on sale for ​$300. What percent of the regular price is the​ savings?

The sales price represents a ____​% savings.

Answer 1

40% saving

Explanation:

the percentage saving is calculated as

`(saving)/(original)` × 100%

saving = $500 - $300 = $200

then

percentage saving =
`(200)/(500)` × 100% = 0.4 × 100% = 40%
