Respuesta :

bcalle
a. 60(2/3) + 35(7/10) + 45(5/6) = $102.00

b. 60 + 35 + 45 = 140 = original price
140 - 102 = $30 saved

c. 102/140 = .7286 * 100 = 72.86 % (not sure how you need it rounded)
2/3 for 60 = 20
7/10 for 35 = 24.5
5/6 for 45 = 37.5

a. Add all the numbers
          20 + 24.5 + 37.5   = You spent $82
b. Add the original prices and then subtract the amount you actually paid
          60+35+45 = 140     140 - 82 = 58      You save 58$
c. price you saved = 58     original price = 140
           58/140 or  29/70
