Answer:
Total discount = $39.50
or 46.47 %
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to figure out what she will pay for the shoes. She is getting 30 percent off the 65 dollars.
Discount = price * percent off
= 65*.3
= 19.50
The cost of her shoes is the price minus the discount.
Cost = 65- 19.5
= 45.50
To find the total discount, take the original price and subtract the final cost.
Total discount = 85-45.50
= 39.50
To find the total percent discount, we use the formula
total percent discount = (original - final)/original * 100
= (85- 45.50)/85 * 100
= 39.5/85*100
= 46.47%
