A store is selling sculptures. The first week, it prices 6 sculptures at $80 each. After each week, if a sculpture is not sold, it will be priced to sell for 0.85 times the previous week's price. The store needs to sell 6 sculptures for a total of at least $270 to make a profit. What is the last week in which all 6 sculptures could be sold so that the store makes a profit?

    80 * 6 = 480 which is the total price for all of the 6 sculptures together if they were bought. You have to mulitply. 85 to 480 because it represents how many weeks the price has gone down.

    .480 *.85 = 408

    You then mulitiply 40 with. 85 because that's new weeks price.

    408 *.85 = 346.8

    You keep doing that until you get to, are are close to $270

    346.8 *.85 = 294.78

    294.78 *.85 = 250.56

    So your answer would be the 3rd week
