JC Penny gives a 40 percent discount on clothe and jewelry. Pedro bought $130 worth of jewelry and two t-shirts priced at $55 each. The total dollar amount of Pedro’s discount is .

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the discount on the jewelry:

Discount on jewelry = 40% * $130 = $52

Next, let's calculate the total cost of the two t-shirts:
Total cost of t-shirts = 2 * $55 = $110

Now, let's calculate the total discount Pedro received:
Total discount = $52 (jewelry) + $110 (t-shirts) = $162

Therefore, Pedro received a total discount of $162. Answer: \boxed{162}.
