Marcia needs to add 3 skirts, 2 pairs of pants and 5 blouses to her work wardrobe. A department store is offering a sale on pants; buy 1 pair get 1 pair 1/2 off. If her skirts are $20.00 each, the blouses are $15.00 and both pairs of pants are $30.00 each. How much will she spend on her wardrobe? Give me reasons, before answering the question

The pants are $30.00 and are buy one get one 1 / 2 off so the second pair will be 30 * .5 = $15.00. The first pair of pants is $30.00 and the second pair is $15.00 so the pants cost 30 + 15 = $45.00. The skirts are $20.00 each and she’s buying 3 so that’s 20 * 3 = $60.00. The blouses are $15.00 each and she’s buying 5 so that’s 15 * 5 = $75.00. All total, her wardrobe will cost $45 for the pants, $60 for the skirts and $75 for the blouses so 45 + 60 + 75 = $180.00. So the final answer is 180.
