Answer:

The answer is you saved $25.00 and the new total is $100.00

Explanation:

so first you set up the equation of is over of = percent over 100

$(a)/(125)=(20)/(100)\\\\$

then simplify the
(20)/(100)=(1)/(5)

then you see if 5 can go into 125. It can so you divide 125 by 5=25

so you multiply the
(1)/(5)=(25)/(125)

so now you just
(a)/(125)=(25)/(125)

then you just subtract the 25 because that is how much you are saving and your total will be $100.00
