Heather Simpson · Answer 1

there is an 8% saving in the 5 filters kit.

Explanation:

Firxt we calcualte the cost of the filter individually

10.45 x 2 = 20.90

12.05 x 2 = 24.10

17.50 x 1 = 17.5

total 62.5

Now, we compare with the kit to know the savings:

savings: 62.5 - 57.5 = 5 dollars

Last, we express the savings as percentage:

saving as percentage: 5 / 62.5 = 0.08 = 8%
