Shu Yi can't resist a sale. She recently bought a dress for $93 after it had been discounted 25%. She also purchased shoes that
had been marked down 15%. She paid $119 for the shoes. When she got home, she told her best friend that she had saved some money. How much money did she save by purchasing the dress and shoes?
Dress: 93$ at 100-25%=75% -> divide the marked down cost by the percentage to get the cost of a single percent and then multiply it with the markdown again to get the saved cost 93/75*25=93/3*1=31*1=31$ shoes 119$ at 100-15%=85% 119/85*15=119/17*3=7*3=21
add both savings together for the full sum: 31+21=52$
