Question

The base of a parking charge at a mall on a Sunday is $2 per hour.If a vehicle is parked for 4 hours, only $6 is charged.What percentage is saved on the base charging for a vehicle parked for 4 hours?

Answer 1

2 dollars = 1 hour
8 dollars = 4 hours
she paid 6 dollars so the amount saved = 8-6 = 2 dollars
percentage saved = \frac{2}{8} × 100
percentage saved = 25%
According to Mr. GooGle

20% because 2 is 20% of 8 which is how much the car should have been charged if the parked there for 4 hours

2 dollars - 1 h
8 dollars - 4 h

paid 6 dollars - 8-6=2 dollars saved

8 dollars mean 100%
2 dollars mean x%

x = 2*100/8 = 25% saved

good job @TETSXPREME
