Hi AbeNeedsAnswers,

We're told that Cheryl purchased 5 identical hollow pine doors and 6 identical solid oak doors. The REGULAR price of each solid oak door was TWICE the REGULAR price of each hollow pine door, but Cheryl was given a discount of 25% off the regular price of each solid oak door. The regular price of each hollow pine door was $40. We're asked for the total price of all 11 doors.

As wordy as this prompt is, solving it really comes down to just organizing the given information and doing a bit of arithmetic...

To answer this question, we need to determine the price of the two types of doors:
Regular price of hollow pine door = $40
Regular price of solid oak door = (2)($40) = $80
Discount price of solid oak door = $80 - (.25)($80) = $60

Now that we have the prices, we can figure out the total:
5($40) + 6($60) = $200 + $360 = $560

Final Answer: C

Say the price of each oak door = x and the price of each pine door = y.

We're given x = 2y, so Cheryl should've paid 5*y + 6*2y, or 17y. She got 25% each oak door, so she actually paid 5y + 4.5*2y, or 14y. y = $40, making the total order 14*$40, or $560.

We can let the price of each hollow pine door = d and of each solid oak door = 2d.

Since each pine door = 40, d = 40, and the regular price of each solid oak door is (2)(4) = 80.

With a 25% discount, each solid oak door is 0.75(80) = 60.

So, the six oak doors cost 6 x 60 = 360 dollars, and the five pine doors cost 5 x 40 = 200 dollars. Thus, the total is 560 dollars.

Answer: C
