35% off means that there is a discount, which implies that the cost price will be reduced
Therefore Kresley will pay 100% - 35% for the item worth $124
65% of the original price = $124
Original price = $124/ 65%
65% = 65/100 =0.65
original price = $124/0.65
original price = $190.77
Since the Discount is 35%
then the discounted price will be 35% the original price ($190.77)
=> 0.35 x 190.77
=> $66.77
The amount discounted is $66.77
