Question

1.9. Jamie bought a necklace at a department store for $23.50. Later that day, she saw the same necklace at a local jewelry store for only $18.80. Find the percentage that Jamie would have saved on the necklace had she bought it at the jewelry store instead. A. 4.7% B. 20% C. 47% D. 80%

Answer 1

Well 100% is equal to 23,5$. 24,5$ minus 18,8 is equal to 4,7.

23,5 = 100%

4,7 = x

x = 100 *4,7 /23,5 = 20%

Answer: B (20%)
