Answer 1

C: 32.50

Explanation:

In this math problem, we are given the information that the price of clothing at Ross is reduced if it remains unsold after one week. We are specifically asked to determine the change in price of a jacket that was initially priced at $65 and remained on the rack for an additional 5 weeks after being tagged. It is also mentioned that the price is reduced by $6.50 each week.

To calculate the change in price over the 5 weeks, we need to multiply the reduction amount ($6.50) by the number of weeks (5). This will give us the total reduction in price over the given time period.

$6.50 x 5 = $32.50

Therefore, the price of the jacket decreased by $32.50 over the 5 weeks it remained unsold.
