    Currently the parts bought in cost $40.

    Note 1 says that some of the parts can be replaced with standard parts, but that 20% can not be replaced with standard parts – so 80% can be replaced and cost 55% less.

    So….of the $40, it means 80% which currently cost $32 (80% x 40) can be bought at 55% less cost. So they will cost 32 – (55% x 32) = $14.40.

    The other 20% currently cost $8 (20% x 40). The can be bought from an alternative supplier who charges 10% less. So they will cost 8 – (10% x 8) = $7.20

    So the total cost for materials will be $14.40 + $7.20 = $21.60.
