If I want to buy something that regularly cost $17.00 and I have a coupon for $5.00 off, how much did I spend and what percent did I save?  Please show your work on how you got to your answer.  Thanks.

a) Discounted price (spent) -> $17 - $5 = $12

 

b) Percentage saved -> $5 ÷ $17 * 100% ≈ 29.412 % (3 decimal places)
