James decides to buy a living room set. The coach cost $2500 and the sectional cost $3500 and everything else has a combined cost of $2000. He gets a 10% discount on everything. How much did he pay? Give me reasons, before answering the question
The combined cost of everything was 2500 + 3500 + 2000 = $8000. So he gets an 8000 * .1 = $800 discount. That means he pays 8000 - 800 = $7200. So the final answer is 7200.
