Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Bailey needs to buy 2 new sets of towels for the guest bathroom and 4 new sets for her master bathroom. The set of towels for the guest bathroom are $40.00 each and the master bathroom set is $50.00 each. The store is currently offering 20% off so how much will Bailey spend on towel sets?
She needs 2 sets of guest towels that are $40.00 each so that’s 2 * 40 = $80.00. She needs 4 sets of master bath towels that are $50.00 each so that’s 4 * 50 = $200.00. Together, the towels will cost 80 + 200 = $280.00. The store is offering 20% off of her $280.00 towels so that’s 280 * .20 = $56.00 discount. Her $280.00 towels have a $56.00 discount making them 280 - 56 = $224.00.
The final answer: 224.
