Jimmy gets a discount of 35% for a pair of sneakers with an original price of $70. He also gets a discount of 25% on a shirt with an original price of $30. How much money does Jimmy save in all?

Verified Answer :

0.35(70) + 0.25(30) = 24.50 + 7.5 = 32....Jimmy saves $ 32

Answer:

He saved $ 32 in all.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The discount percentage on the pair of sneakers = 35 %,

Original price of sneakers = $ 70,

So, the saving on sneakers = Total discount on sneakers

= 35 % of original price of sneakers,

= 35 % of 70

\(=\frac{35\times 70}{100}\)

\(=\frac{2450}{100}\)

\(=\$ 24.50\)

Now, The discount percentage on a shirt = 25 %,

Original price of a shirt = $ 30,

So, the saving on shirt = Total discount on shirt

= 25 % of original price of shirt,

= 25 % of 30
