[Question]Julia just adopted a puppy for $20.00 from the local pet shelter. Before she brings the puppy home, she needs to buy a bag of dog food for $20.00, 2 bags of treats for $2.50 a bag, an assortment box of toys for $15.00, a crate and a bed for $20.00 each, and the collar/leash combo for $15.00. The store offered Julia a 20% new-customer discount. How much will Julia spend on the new puppy?
[Answer]The treats are $2.50 a bag and she buys 2 bags for a total of 2.50 * 2 = $5.00. The crate and bed are $20.00 each so they will cost 2 * 20 = $40.00. She spends $20.00 on dog food, $5.00 on treats, $15.00 on toys $40.00 for a crate and bed and $15.00 for a leash for a total of 20 + 5 + 15 + 40 + 15 = $95.00. With the 20% off, she can expect a .20 * 95 = $19 discount on her order. Her supplies were $95.00 and she has a $19.00 discount for a total of 95 - 19 = $76.00. Her supplies cost $76.00 and the puppy adoption was $20.00 for a grand total of 76 + 20 = $96.00. The answer is 96.
