A sweater is regularly $32 it is 25% off the original price this week a would the amount the shopper saved be considered the part, whole, or percent
if there is a 25% discount, that is the amount saved, right?
.25 * $32 = $8.00
To determine whether the amount the shopper saved is considered the part, whole, or percent, we need to understand the parts of a percent problem.
In a percent problem, there are three components:
1. Part: The part refers to the portion or amount of something.
2. Whole: The whole refers to the total or original amount of something.
3. Percent: The percent refers to the relative portion or rate of the whole.
In this case, the original price of the sweater is $32, and it is currently on a 25% discount. Therefore, the part would be the discount amount or the amount the shopper saved, which can be calculated as follows:
Discount amount = Original price x Discount rate
= $32 x 0.25
= $8
So, the amount the shopper saved is considered the part in this scenario.
