Since he paid $141.00 for two sets, he paid $70.50 for each one.

Without a discount, he would have paid  $75.85 for each one.

The amount that he saved:  $75.85 - $70.50  =  $5.35 per set.

To calculate the percentage off:  divide the amount saved by the original price:

To calculate the percentage off:  $5.35 / $75.85  =  0.07 (approximately)  =  7% off.
