(a)
Price to pay for the first item with discount in percent
= 100% - 10%
= 90%
Amount paid for the toy figurine
= 90% x 19
=
90100 x 19
= $17.10
Price to pay for the second item with discount in percent
= 100% - 25%
= 75%
Amount paid for the frisbee
= 75% x 14
=
75100 x 14
= $10.50
Total amount paid for the two items
= 17.10 + 10.50
= $27.60
(b)
Total discount in percent
= 10% + 25%
= 35%
35% of the price = 14.35
1% of the price = 14.35 ÷ 35 = 0.41
100% of the price = 100 x 0.41 = 41
Price of each lego set = $41
Answer(s): (a) $27.60; (b) $41
