Answer:
$15.75
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the percent of a number, we need to express the percent as a decimal with the decimal point of the original percent moved two places to the left. We cannot add the two percents together. You are only paying 50% of the original price.
50% = 0.5
We will now move to decimal two places to the left.
0.005 x 35 = 17.50
Now, we find 90% (since we only care about the amount you are paying) of $17.50
0.009 x 17.50 = 15.75
$15.75
