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

35%x$70+25%x$30=$24.50+$7.50=$32.00

a discount is equal to the original value multiplied by the discount so the discount on the sneakers is 70(0.35) and the discount on the shirt is 30(0.25) add those values together
