Answer.  70% of $50,  which is 0.7*50 = 35 dollars.

We can start with $50 as the price as of Monday, before the reduction.

30% of $50 is 0.30*$50 = $15, so the price after reduction is $50-$15 = +highlight%28+matrix%281%2C2%2C+%22%24%22%2C+35%29+%29+

Alternate solution: 30% off means final price is 70% of Monday's starting price: 0.7*$50 = ++matrix%281%2C2%2C+%22%24%22%2C+35%29++
