Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

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. Final answer: 1035.
