Dennis wants to buy 4 pairs of pants from the store which cost $110.00 each with a 30% discount and he also wants to buy 2 pairs of socks which cost $60.00 with a 30% discount. How much money will Dennis have to spend in total after he bought all the items he wants after the discount? Give me reasons, before answering the question
Dennis wants to buy 4 pairs of pants which cost 110x4 = $440. And he also wants to buy 2 pairs of socks that cost 60x2 = $120. The total amount he needs to spend without the discount is 440 + 120 = $560. The discount he will have amounts to $560x.0.30 = $168.00. So the total amount he needs to spend after deducting the discount from the total amount is 560 - 168 = $392. So the final answer is 392.
