Question and rationale: The question is: Jimmy wants to order a pizza at a new place. The large pizza costs $10.00 and is cut into 8 slices. The first topping costs $2.00, the next 2 toppings cost $1.00 each and the rest of the toppings cost $0.50. If he orders a large pizza with pepperoni, sausage, ham, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers and pineapple. How much will his pizza cost per slice?
Step-by-step reasoning process: The pizza costs $10 and the first topping, pepperoni costs $2 so right now it costs 10 = 2 = $12.00. The next 2 toppings, sausage and ham, cost $1.00 each so 2 * 1 = $2.00. The remaining toppings, olives, mushrooms, bell peppers and pineapple, cost $0.50 each so they cost 4 * .50 = $2.00. All total, Jimmy's pizza costs 12 + 2 + 2 = $16.00. The pizza is sliced into 8 pieces and the pizza costs $16 so each slice costs 16 / 8 = $2.00 a slice.

The question is: 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?
Step-by-step reasoning process: 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.
