Answer:

Explanation:

The initial price of the swimsuit that Karla purchased at Amazon was 75.5

she use the coupon code to receive a 25% discount. This means that the value if the discount would be

25/100 × 75.5 = 0.25× 75.5 = 18.86

Therefore, the discounted price of the swimsuit is 75.5 - 18.875 = 56.625

The website applied a 10% service fee for the discount price. This means that the value of the service fee would be

10/100 × 56.625 = 0.1 × 56.625 = 5.6625.

The amount that Karla pays for the swimsuit would be

56.625 + 5.6625 = 62.2875

The difference between the original price and the price that Karla paid would be 75.5 - 62.2875 = 13.2125

The percentage by which the amount that Karla paid was lesser than the original price would be

13.2125/ 75.5 × 100 = 17.5%
