Good evening, I would need some help on this exercise. Paul takes advantage of the sales to buy pants for € 29.50 which initially cost € 5 more. He also buys a € 17 T-shirt on which he is entitled to a 25% discount at the cash desk. What percentage of the total amount of his purchases did he save by purchasing these items during the sales?
thank you​

 He Saved 18.664%

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first we need to find the total of the original price of the items he got

then we can solve for how much (in percentage) he saved

We know the original price of the pant as € 34.50 because 5+29.50=34.50

Now lets find out the original price of the shirt

The shirt's original price can be found by using this equation

x * .75 = 17

17/ .75  = x

22.67 = x

Now since we know the prices of these two items lets add them together

34.50 + 22.67 = 57.17

He actually spent

29.50 + 17 = 46.5

Now what percentage of 57.17 is 46.5?

We can use 46.5/57.17 = 0.81336

.81336 *100 =  81.336%

100-81.336 = 18.664

18.664% was saved
