Amount paid for the first book is $17.
Amount paid for the second book is 0.75 x 8 = $6
Total amount paid = $17 + $6 = $23
Total full cost of the two books = $17 + $8 = $25
Amount of discount = $25 - $23 = $2
% reduction =

Therefore, the <span>percent of the total cost of the two books reduced during the sale</span> is 8%
Step-by-step explanation:
there you go that is how you solve
For this question, I would first see what one child is equal toby divide the children by the percentage.
15÷3= 5
Each child is worth 5%. If you know each child is worth 5%, and the total number of students are 100%, then you can divide.
100÷5= 20
There are 20 students in the class. To make sure our answer is right, we can check to see if 3 students are 15 percent.
3÷20= .15×100= 15
So yes, there are 20 students in the class.
