    Dress: 93$ at 100-25%=75%

    -> divide the marked down cost by the percentage to get the cost of a single percent and then multiply it with the markdown again to get the saved cost

    93/75*25=93/3*1=31*1=31$

    shoes 119$ at 100-15%=85%

    119/85*15=119/17*3=7*3=21

    add both savings together for the full sum: 31+21=52$
