Answer: $50

I had to pay $50. The original cost was $100. Since there was 50 percent off and 50 percent of $100 = $50, therefore I need to pay only $100 - $50 = $50.

'Feynman's Lectures on Physics' is a book by an American physicist, Richard Feynman. It comes in three volumes.

Thanks for helping us in doing calculations during our shopping. I hope you enjoyed playing the quiz. Finally after all of our shopping we have all the assets we need to start our college and hostel life.
