Answer:

  you will save $3.69

Step-by-step explanation:

You save 20% of the marked price on each of the three books. Your savings are ...

  • $8.50 × 0.20 = $1.70
  • $2.95 × 0.20 = $0.59
  • $7.00 × 0.20 = $1.40

Then the total savings is ...

  $1.70 +0.59 +1.40 = $3.69 . . . total savings

__

It can be easier to do the addition first:

  ($8.50 +2.95 +7.00) × 0.20 = $18.45 × 0.20 = $3.69 . . . total savings
