Answer:
The answer is you saved $25.00 and the new total is $100.00
Step-by-step explanation:
so first you set up the equation of is over of = percent over 100
[tex]\frac{a}{125}=\frac{20}{100}\\\\[/tex]
then simplify the [tex]\frac{20}{100}=\frac{1}{5}[/tex]
then you see if 5 can go into 125. It can so you divide 125 by 5=25
so you multiply the [tex]\frac{1}{5}=\frac{25}{125}[/tex]
so now you just [tex]\frac{a}{125}=\frac{25}{125}[/tex]
then you just subtract the 25 because that is how much you are saving and your total will be $100.00
