A bicycle normally sells for $237.99. It is now on sale for 25% off. As an employee, Baron is able to save an extra 10% off the sale price. What is the most reasonable estimate of the price Baron must pay to buy the bicycle?

• katie6wpg: First we have to find the total amount of savings on the bicycle, which we can find by adding together the sale discount and Baron's employee discount.
  
  25% + 10% = 35%
  
  Because this is an estimate, we are going to round the bicycle's price to $250.00.  
  
  Because we know that Baron gets a 35% discount, we can assume that he is paying for 65% (0.65) of the bike's original price.
  
  0.65 * 250 = $162.50
  
  Therefore, a reasonable estimate of the price Baron must pay to buy the bicycle is $162.50.
