Answer:

a) $32,000

b) 9/25

c) 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A) How much did you save?

Let's see. In order to find the savings, we must subtract the new price from the original.

  • 50,000 - 18,000 = 32,000

You saved $32,000 (a pretty good deal!)

B)  What fraction of the original price was this?

To find the fraction, we must divide the new price from the original.

  • 18,000/50,000
  • 9,000/25,000      => SImplify
  • 9/25                      => Simplify

It's 9 twenty-fifths of the original price.

C) What fraction of the original price was this?

Convert the fraction to percent

  • 9/25
  • 9*4/25*4            => Denominator of 100
  • 36/100
  • 36%
