Aplant nursery is having a sale. potted begonias are marked down 27%, and tomato seedlings are marked down 35%. if you pay $6.57 each for two potted begonias and $2.60 each for three tomato seedlings, how much did you save? a. $3.83 b. $5.31 c. $6.92 d. $9.06

For begonias, if you paid 27% less than the original price, you paid 73% of the original price. Your savings was (27%/73%) of the price you paid:

... (27/73)·$6.57 = $2.43 . . . . savings on each of 2 begonias

Likewise, if you paid 35% less than the original price for a tomato seedling, your savings per seedling was

... (35/65)·$2.60 = $1.40 . . . .savings on each of 3 tomato seedlings

Then your total savings was

... 2×$2.43 + 3×$1.40 = $9.06

The appropriate choice is ...

... d. $9.06

These calculations are equivalent to finding the original price, then calculating the discount amount from that. (For example: the original begonia price is 6.57/0.73; then the savings amount is 0.27 times that, or .27/.73·6.57—the value we calculated.) We just skip the step of finding the original price—because we don't need to know it in order to get the answer we want.
