### Instruction: For a sale, a store owner reduces the price of a $\$10$ scarf by $30\%$. Later the price is lowered again, this time by $50\%$ of the reduced price. What is the current price, in dollars?### Response: So the first time the price was reduced, it was reduced by 30% of 10 dollars.
Which is 3 dollars.
Right, so the price after the first reduction is 10-3=7 dollars.
Then the price was reduced by 50% of 7 dollars.
Which is 3.5 dollars.
So the current price is 7-3.5=3.5 dollars.
