Answer: 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : At a hardware store, a tool set normally costs $80.

i.e. Usual price of a tool set = $80

During a sale this week, the tool set costs $12 less than usual.

i.e.  savings = $12

Now, the percentage of the usual price is the savings is given by :-

[tex]\dfrac{\text{Savings}}{\text{Usual price}}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{12}{80}\times100\%\\\\=\dfrac{1200}{80}\%=15\%[/tex]

Hence, the percentage of the usual price is the savings = 15%

The percentage of the usual price saved for the purchase of the tool is 15%

Given the Parameters :

  • Normal Cost = usual price = $80
  • Discounted cost = Usual price - $12 = $80 - $12 = $68
  • Amount saved = $12

The percentage saving made based on the usual or normal price of the tool can be calculated thus :

Percentage saving = [tex]\frac{amount saved}{normal price} \times 100%[/tex]

Percentage saving = [tex]\frac{12}{80} \times 100%[/tex] %

Percentage saving = [tex] 0.15 \times 100% = 15 [/tex]%

Therefore, the percentage saved is 15%
