Answer:
a) $26
b) 24.07%

Before tax:
Normal price of dress = $62
Discounted price of dress = $48
Normal price of a pair of shoes = $46
Discounted price of a pair of shoes = $34
a) Before the sales tax, total savings = ($64 - $48) + ($46 - $34) = <em>$26</em>
b) Total percentage discount on total sales.
Total bill for original price = $62 + $46 = $108
Percentage discount can be found by the formula:
c) Total amount paid if the sales tax is 15%.
Amount paid with tax = Amount after discount + 15% of amount after discount
Amount after discount = $48 + $34 = $82
15% of $82 = $18.29
Amount paid with sales tax = $82 + $12.3 = <em>$94.3</em>
