Based on the markdowns and the number of each of the plants purchased, the amount saved is $9.06
Potted Begonias cost $6.57 when discounted by 27%. Their cost must be:
Discounted cost = Original cost x (1 - Discount)
6.57 = Original x (1 - 27%)
Original = 6.57 / 0.73
Original = $9.00
The savings here are therefore:
= 2 x (9 - 6.57)
= $4.86
The original cost of the Tomato seedlings is:
= 2.60 / ( 1 - 35%)
= $4.00
Savings would be:
= 3 x (4 - 2.60)
= $4.20
Total savings are therefore:
= 4.86 + 4.20
= $9.06
In conclusion, $9.06 was saved.
