Right.
He's saved 0.625%
Yes, I can help you with that! To find the percentage of the amount Josh has saved so far, we need to follow these steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount Josh has saved.
Josh has $5.0 saved.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage.
To find the percentage, divide the amount saved by the total cost and multiply by 100.
Percentage = (Amount saved / Total cost) * 100
In this case, the amount saved is $5.0 and the total cost is $800.
Percentage = (5.0 / 800) * 100
Step 3: Perform the calculation.
Percentage = (0.00625) * 100
Percentage = 0.625
Therefore, Josh has saved approximately 0.625% of the total cost of the video game system.
