    Price of the hardcover book bought by Jamie = $32.99

    Percentage off given on hardcover books by the store = 20%

    percentage off that Jamie gets on the coupon = 15%

    Then

    Total percentage off that Jamie gets on the book = (20 + 15) percent

    = 35%

    So

    Amount of discount that Jamie gets on the book = (35/100) * 32.99

    = 1154.65/100 dollars

    = 11.55 dollars

    So Jamie gets a total discount of $11.55 on the book. So the correct option among all the options given in the question is option "b".
