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)
