Question 285525
jacket = $80 originally.
shirt = $40 originally.


Total price for jacket and shirt was $120 originally.


Jacket was bought at 40% discount.
This means that the jacket was bought at $80 - .4*$80 = $80 - $32 = $48.


Shirt was bought at 55% discount.
This means that the shirt was bought at $40 - .55*$40 = $40 - $22 = $18.


Jacket and Shirt were both purchased for $48 + $18 = $66.


Total saved was $32 + $22 = $54.


$54 / $120 = .45 * 100% = 45% total savings over the original price.
