Andre went to a sporting goods store that was having a different sale. He bought a baseball glove and 2 packages of socks. The baseball glove normally costs $34. The baseball glove is not discounted. One package of socks normally costs $6. On sale, one package of socks costs $4. The sales tax rate is 7.75%. What percentage of the total regular price (before tax) was his savings?
The 2 packages of socks cost a total of 2 x $4 = $<<2*4=8>>8.
The total amount he spent before tax was $34 + $8 = $<<34+8=42>>42.
The total sales tax amount was $42 x 7.75% = $<<42*7.75*.01=3.255>>3.26.
The total price he paid including sales tax was $42 + $3.26 = $<<42+3.26=45.26>>45.26.
His savings was $6 - $4 = $<<6-4=2>>2 for the package of socks.
So his savings on the baseball glove were $0 and his total savings were $0 + $2 = $<<0+2=2>>2.
Therefore Andre saved $2/$42 x 100 = 4.76% of the total regular price. Answer: \boxed{4.76}.
