Consider the question. Pearl wants to order 5 monogrammed Christmas stockings for each of her 5 grandchildren and her own 4 children. The stockings are $20.00 each and currently 10% off. The monogramming will costs $5.00 per stocking. How much will the stockings costs?
What is the step-by-step reasoning process to arrive at the answer: 1035?
She has 5 grandchildren 4 children so she needs 5 + 4 = 9 stockings. The stockings are $20.00 each and currently 10% off so that's 20 * .10 = $2.00 off. The stockings are $20.00 with a $2.00 discount so they are each 20 - 2 = $18.00. The stockings are now $18.00 and she needs 9 so that's $162.00. She also wants to monogram each stocking at $5.00 per stocking so that's 9 * 5 = $45.00. The stockings are $162.00 and the monogramming will cost $45.00 so the stockings will cost 162 + 45 = $207.00.
