Answer 1

The price of the jacket at Ross was reduced by a total of $32.50 over 5 weeks, with a weekly reduction of $6.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves calculating the change in price for a jacket at Ross over a period of five weeks. The price of the jacket is reduced by $6.50 each week it remains unsold. Over 5 weeks, the total reduction in price is the weekly reduction amount multiplied by the number of weeks. Therefore, we calculate the total price reduction as follows: $6.50 reduced 5 times is $6.50 * 5 = $32.50.
