# Instructions
2+
3+
To try and encourage more sales of different books from a popular 5 book series, a bookshop has decided to offer discounts on multiple book purchases.
4+
5+
One copy of any of the five books costs $8.
6+
7+
If, however, you buy two different books, you get a 5% discount on those two books.
8+
9+
If you buy 3 different books, you get a 10% discount.
10+
11+
If you buy 4 different books, you get a 20% discount.
12+
13+
If you buy all 5, you get a 25% discount.
14+
15+
Note that if you buy four books, of which 3 are different titles, you get a 10% discount on the 3 that form part of a set, but the fourth book still costs $8.
16+
17+
Your mission is to write code to calculate the price of any conceivable shopping basket (containing only books of the same series), giving as big a discount as possible.
18+
19+
For example, how much does this basket of books cost?
20+
21+
- 2 copies of the first book
22+
- 2 copies of the second book
23+
- 2 copies of the third book
24+
- 1 copy of the fourth book
25+
- 1 copy of the fifth book
26+
27+
One way of grouping these 8 books is:
28+
29+
- 1 group of 5 (1st, 2nd,3rd, 4th, 5th)
30+
- 1 group of 3 (1st, 2nd, 3rd)
31+
32+
This would give a total of:
33+
34+
- 5 books at a 25% discount
35+
- 3 books at a 10% discount
36+
37+
Resulting in:
38+
39+
- 5 × (100% - 25%) × $8 = 5 × $6.00 = $30.00, plus
40+
- 3 × (100% - 10%) × $8 = 3 × $7.20 = $21.60
41+
42+
Which equals $51.60.
43+
44+
However, a different way to group these 8 books is:
45+
46+
- 1 group of 4 books (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th)
47+
- 1 group of 4 books (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th)
48+
49+
This would give a total of:
50+
51+
- 4 books at a 20% discount
52+
- 4 books at a 20% discount
53+
54+
Resulting in:
55+
56+
- 4 × (100% - 20%) × $8 = 4 × $6.40 = $25.60, plus
57+
- 4 × (100% - 20%) × $8 = 4 × $6.40 = $25.60
58+
59+
Which equals $51.20.
60+
61+
And $51.20 is the price with the biggest discount.
