At one store, Matt saved $25 with a coupon for 50% off his total purchase. At another store, the $22 he spent on books is 44% of his total bill. How much did Matt spend in all at the two store?

First store:

x=price of the purchase.

x-50 % x=$25

x - (50/100) x=25

Least common multiple=100

100x-50x=2500

50x=2500

x=2500/50

x=50

he saved $25

Matt spend $50-$25=25$ in the first store.

Second store:

x=money spent in the second store.

44% of x=$22

(44/100) x=22

x = (22*100) / 44

x=50

Matt spent in the second store $50

Matt spend in all at the tow store=$25+$50=$75

Answer: $75
