First find the total without using the dicounts. then do 70×.35 which is 35% as a decimal. your answer is the dicounts but that is how much you are taking off. .35×70= 24.5 then you would do 70-24.5=45.5 then do the same for the other amount. add these two amounts together. ( 30×.25=7.5 30-7.5= 22.5) 45.5+22.5= 68 then do your first answer - 68 and that is how much is saved
