    Given:

    Shirt = $12

    Pants = $19

    Shirts = 3 * 12 = 36

    Jeans = 2 * 19 = 38

    Total cost = 36 + 38 = 74

    If Pani has a discount of $3 per shirt and $3 per pair of jeans.

    Shirts : 3 * (12-3) = 3 * 9 = 27

    Jeans : 2 * (19-3) = 2 * 16 = 32

    Total cost w / discounts = 27 + 32 = 59

    If Pani paid $71, she got a discount of $3 from the total amount of $74. The discount given was from the total sales, not the price of each item.

    Sign should state "$3 discount from total purchase".
