To find out how much you will save when buying a remote-control helicopter originally priced at $49 with a 35% discount, we can calculate the discount amount.
The discount amount is calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Discount} = \text{Original Price} \times \text{Discount Rate} \]
In this case, the original price is $49 and the discount rate is 35%, or 0.35 in decimal form.
\[ \text{Discount} = 49 \times 0.35 \]
Calculating this:
\[ \text{Discount} = 49 \times 0.35 = 17.15 \]
Therefore, if you buy the helicopter, you will save $17.15.
The correct answer is $17.15.
