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?

Result

p1 =  50 %
p2 =  50 %

Solution:

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