6. A store discounted items by 50% off the

original price one week. The following

week an additional 10% was taken off the

already reduced price. The regular price

of a CD player was $85.00. What is the

reduced price in the second week?

1st week

0.5 x 85 = $42.50

85 - 42.50 = $42.50

2nd week

0.1 x 42.50 = $4.25

42.50 - 4.25 = $38.25

The answer is $38.25.
