A. Since discount was 10%, then Mrs Down paid 90% of original cost, therefore the original cost of a bag is \"54%2F90%2A100=60\", the original cost of a dress is \"81%2F90%2A100=90\"
\n" ); document.write( "The total original cost of these two items is \"60%2B90=150\"£
\n" ); document.write( "B. Actually the total cost were \"54%2B81=135\"£
\n" ); document.write( "Mrs Down saved \"150-135=15\"£
\n" ); document.write( "
