Pleasant Valley Gardening Center gives all local professional gardeners a 22 percent discount on flowers and trees. Ralph of Ralph’s Green Thumb Gardening Service bought $530 worth of flowers and two apple trees priced at $110 each. The total dollar amount of Ralph’s discount is ____________________.
The total cost of the flowers and apple trees is $530 + ($110 x 2) = $530 + $220 = $<<530+(110*2)=750>>750
Ralph's discount is $750 x 22% = $<<750*22*.01=165>>165. Answer: \boxed{165}.
