Trip to a city

Lin wants to save $75 for a trip to the city. If she has saved $37.50 so far, what percentage of her goal has she saved? What percentage remains?

Correct result:

p1 =  50 %
p2 =  50 %

Solution:

p1=100⋅ 37.5075=50%p_{1}=100 \cdot \ \dfrac{ 37.50 }{ 75 }=50 \%
p2=100−p1=100−50=50%p_{2}=100 - p_{1}=100 - 50=50 \%
