A. $125.00

B. $62.50

C. $31.25

D. $250.00

Answer 1

Answer = C.31.25

Explanation:

SO there are 4 years and every year the price gets 50% of so we take it as 100/2 = 50% so we have to divide 500 by 2 four times that is -

1. 500/2 ( 50% of 500) = 250

2. 250/2 (50% of 250) = 125

3. 125/2 (50% of 125) = 62.50

4. 62.50/2 (50% of 62.50) = 32.25

so we divided 500 4 times to get the answer as 32.25$
