Please help me this is very important

Answer 1

a. 24.5 $

b. 10.5 $

c. 7/10

Explanation:

Given the original price of the sweater is: $ 35.

a) If you pay only
`$ (7)/(10) $` of the price, then the actual amount paid is:
`$ (7)/(10) * 35 = (49)/(2) $` = 24.5 $.

b) Total amount Saved = Actual price - Price you paid

`$ \implies $` Total Amount Saved =
`$ 35 - (49)/(2) $`

`$ = (21)/(2) $` = 10.5 $.

c) Fraction of the original price saved = Total amount Spent/Actual Price

`$ \implies $` Total amount Saved =
`$ (49)/(2(35)) $`

`$ = (49)/(70) $` =
`$ (7)/(10) $`
