If the total cost plus shipping is greater than $35,then you receive a 10% discount off the original selling price. do you qualify? if so, what is the new total cost plus shipping

It's not clear what is the specific requirement of the question, but I'll assume a couple of situations to help you with your real problem.

$45 (qualified)

$30 (did not qualify)

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentage Calculations

Relative quantities are usually expressed as percentages (%). We say x percent of y is the proportion xy/100. When discounts or surcharges are applied, they are subtracted or added to the original quantity.

The question explains I receive a 10% discount off the original selling price if the total cost plus shipping is greater than $35. Let's assume the total cost plus shipping is $50. Since it's greater than $35, it qualifies for a discount. The discount is 10% of $50 = (10)(50)/100= $5. So the new total cost will be $50 - $5 = $45

Let's suppose now the total cost+shipping is $30. Since it's not greater than $35, no discount will be applied and we have to pay $30
