Answer:

Total savings off the original price = $100

Explanations:

The original price = $160

Let the new price after 25% reduction in price be N₁


\begin{gathered} N_1=\text{ }(100-25)/(100)*160 \\ N_1=\text{ }(75)/(100)*160 \\ N_1=\text{ }\$120 \end{gathered}

Let the new price after after the 50% reduction be N₂


\begin{gathered} N_2=\text{ }(50)/(100)*120 \\ N_2=\text{ \$60} \end{gathered}

Total savings off the original price = Original price - N₂

Total savings off the original price = 160 - 60

Total savings off the original price = $100
