Answer:
d. $9.06
Step-by-step explanation:
Potted begonias were purchased at $6.57 each. It means that $6.57 represents the original price less 27% discount.
$6.57 equal to 73% of the original price.
The original price is $6.57/73 x 100
=0.09 x 100
=$9.
Tomato seedlings cost $2.60 each.
$2.60 represents the original price less 35% discount
$2.60 is the equivalent of 65% of the original price.
100 % = 2.60/65 x 100
=0.04 x 100
=$4
Total savings will be as follows.
Each Potted begonias saves $9 - $6.57= $2.43
two potted begonias save $2.43 x 2 =$4.86
Each tomato seedlings saves $4-$2.60= $1.40
Three tomato seedling will save = $1.40 x 3 = $4.2
Total savings will be $4.86 + $4.2= $9.06
