Answer 1

Okay, here we have this:

Considering the provided information, we are going to calculate how much did you pay, so we obtain the following expression:

Total payment = (Number of sets (cloth+hand towel+bath towel)+Carpet)*(1-Discount)

Total payment = 2(4.99+7.59+10.99)+13.19*(1-0.15)

Total payment = 2(4.99+7.59+10.99)+13.19*(0.85)

Total payment = 2(23.57)+13.19*(0.85)

Total payment = 47.14+13.19*(0.85)

Total payment = 47.14+11.2115

Total payment = $58.3515

Finally we get that you paid $58.3515.
