The answer is 20%
If 50 is your 100%, take 100 and 90 for example it would be obvious that is it 10% off, so with 50 since it is half of 100 you double the 10% which will be 20%. :)
Answer:
And using the normal standard table or excel we find the probability:

Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
Normal distribution, is a "probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean".
The Z-score is "a numerical measurement used in statistics of a value's relationship to the mean (average) of a group of values, measured in terms of standard deviations from the mean".
Solution to the problem
Let X the random variable that represent the avergae number of weeks an individual is unemployed of a population, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:
Where
and
Since the distribution for X is normal then, the distribution for the sample mean
is given by:
We select a sample of n =50 people. And we want to find the following probability
And using the normal standard table or excel we find the probability:

The amount for the discount is 150$
55 / 100 = 0.55 which is 1%
0.55 x 40 = 22 which is 40%
55 - 22 = 33
The answer is $33
