Shirley's maid service charges $50/hour for basic cleaning services. due to increased competition, shirley has decided to reduce her hourly rate by 15 percent. how much will the new hourly rate be?

$42.50 is your answer

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
