Question

Shawn wants to buy a CD player that costs $48.00. If he has already saved $30.00, what percent of the price of the CD player has he saved?

A. 62 1/2%
B. 50%
C. 75%
D. 57%

How would I work this out to get as close to the answer as possible without guessing.

Answer 1

30/48 multiplied by 100.

Answer 2

\[30\div48 \times 100 = 62.5\]

Answer 3

Awesome I get it Thanks soooo much!

Answer 4

No problem, just remember. Part/whole times 100 = percentage.

Answer 5

Will do, thanks
