Robert · Answer 1

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since $2.75 discount is given on towel

$0.5 discount is given on candle

10% discount is given on set of dishes

We will have to calculate the discount for the set of dishes

10% of $35.10

10/100 * 35.10

=35.1

So the discount on the set of dishes is $35.1

When comparing the discount on the three things she bought, it was observed that she gained a lot from the discount given on the set of dishes

So the answer is A
