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 answer:

p₁ =  50 %
p₂ =  50 %

Step-by-step explanation:

$p_1=100\cdot {\displaystyle \frac{37.50}{75}}=50\mathrm{\%}$

$p_2=100-p_1=100-50=50\mathrm{\%}$
