Let the cost of pine door be x. Since the price of the oak door is twice the price of the pine door, the cost is 2x. Since she gets a discount of 25% on the oak door, she would have to pay 75% of the cost, which is $$\frac{3}{4}*2x = 1.5x$$ Since the cost of pine door is 40$, the cost of the oak door is 60$Therefore, the total cost of the 11 doors is $$5*40 + 6*60 = 200 + 360 = 560$$(Option C) _________________ You've got what it takes, but it will take everything you've got Director Joined: 04 Dec 2015 Posts: 738 Location: India Concentration: Technology, Strategy Schools: ISB '19, IIMA , IIMB, XLRI WE: Information Technology (Consulting) Cheryl purchased 5 identical hollow pine doors and 6 identical solid o [#permalink] ### Show Tags 17 Jun 2017, 10:40 1 2 AbdurRakib wrote: Cheryl purchased 5 identical hollow pine doors and 6 identical solid oak doors for the house she is building.

E. $680 Since the regular price of each hollow pine door = 40 dollars, the regular price of each solid oak door is (2)(40) = 80 dollars. With a 25% discount, each solid oak door is sold for 0.75(80) = 60 dollars. 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.
