Answer:

49%

Explanation:

First find how much Alice is paying for the all three service currently.

Amount paid by Alice at present= 59 + 49 + 69 = $ 177

If she switches to 90 NOW plan, then the amount saved = 177 - 90 = $ 87

Percentage of savings = (saved amount ÷ total amount she was paying at present) * 100

= 49 %
