Question

Jimmy gets a discount of 35% for a pair of sneakers with an original price of $70. He also gets a discount of 25% on a shirt with an original price of $30. How much money does Jimmy save in all?

Answer 1

0.35(70) + 0.25(30) = 24.50 + 7.5 = 32....Jimmy saves $ 32

Answer 2

He saved $ 32 in all.

Explanation:

Given,

The discount percentage on the pair of sneakers = 35 %,

Original price of sneakers = $ 70,

So, the saving on sneakers = Total discount on sneakers

= 35 % of original price of sneakers,

= 35 % of 70

`=(35* 70)/(100)`

`=(2450)/(100)`

`=\$ 24.50`

Now, The discount percentage on a shirt = 25 %,

Original price of a shirt = $ 30,

So, the saving on shirt = Total discount on shirt

= 25 % of original price of shirt,

= 25 % of 30

`=(25* 30)/(100)`

`=(750)/(100)`

`=\$7.50`

Hence, his total saving = the saving on sneakers + the saving on shirt

= $ 24.50 + $ 7.50

= $ 32.00
