My vet is charging 26 dollars for grooming pepe, and says I will get a 10% discount for my other three dogs....how much is that in total?

10% of 26$ is 2,60 so you'd be paying $23,40 for each further dog. All in all you have to pay: $96,20. I think.

To get how much discount you can get all you need to do is multiply 26 by 3 then multiply it again to .1 (or ten percent) since only 3 dogs will get a 10% discount. this will be the discount you can get from the 3 dogs which is 7.8. Then subtract it to the total amount you need to pay the vet which (26 * 4). To make it easier...

(26 * 4) - ((.1)(26*3)) = ????

104 - 7.8 = ???

you should pay the vet 96.2 dollars for the four dogs...
