    without the sales, he would have spent $44.57

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let the amount he would have spent without the sales be x. Now, if there is a 65% discount, what this means is that he is exactly paying for 100 - 65% = 35%

    Now, it is this 35% of X that is equal to the amount he paid

    Thus, mathematically, we have the following;

    35/100 * x = 15.60

    35x = 15.6 * 100

    35x = 1560

    x = 1560/35

    x = $44.57

    This means that without the sales discount, he would have paid $44.57
