Suppose you currently pay $45/ month to the phone company for telephone service; $90/month to the cable company for cable TV; and $50/month to an Internet Service Provider for high-speed Internet access. You learn that you can bundle all these services with the cable company for one monthly fee of $148. What percentage savings is that?
amount currently paid for the services = 45+90+50
