1. The problem asks how much money Lin has saved if she has saved a certain percentage of her goal of 20.
2. The formula to find the amount saved is:
$$\text{Amount saved} = \frac{\text{Percentage}}{100} \times \text{Goal}$$
3. We will calculate the amount saved for each percentage given.
**a. 25%**
$$\text{Amount saved} = \frac{25}{100} \times 20$$
$$= \frac{\cancel{25}}{\cancel{100}} \times 20 = 0.25 \times 20$$
$$= 5$$
Lin has saved 5.
**b. 75%**
$$\text{Amount saved} = \frac{75}{100} \times 20$$
$$= \frac{\cancel{75}}{\cancel{100}} \times 20 = 0.75 \times 20$$
$$= 15$$
Lin has saved 15.
**c. 125%**
$$\text{Amount saved} = \frac{125}{100} \times 20$$
$$= \frac{125}{100} \times 20 = 1.25 \times 20$$
$$= 25$$
Lin has saved 25, which is more than her goal.
Final answers:
- a. 5
- b. 15
- c. 25
