Pythagorean theorem
c2 = a2 + b2
71^2 = 43^2 + b2
5041 = 1849 + b2
3192 = b2
b = 56.5 which is answer choice d
When you see a "%" you need to ask " a percent of what"?
Here, it's a percent of the original prize, so the discount is 20% of the original prize, that is 20% of 35.
20% is also 20/100 or 1/5, so we can calculate this like this:

so the discount is 7 dollars.
