Answer 1

If both pumpkins are 7 dollars in total than it would be 5.25 if its 7 dollars each and a discount on each it would be 10.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

$ 10.50

Explanation:

we can use a proportion to answer this question

25 : 100 = x : 7

x = (25 * 7)/100 = $1.75 (value of the discount)

Final price = 7 - 1.75 = $5.25

she bought two = 5.25 x 2 = $10.50
