    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.
