Final answer:
The percent of the discount is calculated by dividing the amount saved by the total regular price and multiplying by 100, yielding a discount of approximately 18.65%.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent of the discount given on the songs, we need to compare the discounted price to the regular price of the 15 songs combined. First, let's calculate the total regular price for 15 songs without any discount.
Total regular price = Number of songs × Regular price per song
Total regular price = 15 × $0.89
Total regular price = $13.35
Now, let's determine the amount saved by using the discount.
Amount saved = Total regular price - Discounted price
Amount saved = $13.35 - $10.86
Amount saved = $2.49
Finally, to find the percent of the discount, we divide the amount saved by the total regular price and multiply by 100.
Percent of discount = (Amount saved ÷ Total regular price) × 100%
Percent of discount = ($2.49 ÷ $13.35) × 100%
Percent of discount = 18.65% (rounded to two decimal places)
This calculation shows the discount percentage applied to the songs' total regular price.
