Lindsay is very excited to be getting a great deal on an iPad. It was originally $500, but she will only be paying $325. What percent did she save?

Percentage saved = percentage change

percentage change = change in final and initial values divided by original value and then multiplied by 100

in short = change / original * 100

change = $500 - $ 325 = $175

so ... 175 / 500 * 100

= 0.35 * 100

= 35 %

percentage saved = 35 %

how to check if correct : 35/100 * 500 = 175

She saved 35 percent, since 325 is 65% of 500.
