Hey there!
If the price of a CD on sale is 0.65c, then 0.35 was taken off of the original price. You can find this if you subtract 0.65 from 1, or 65% from 100%.
Your answer would not be your second option or your fourth option, since the price you're paying is 0.65 of the original price and you are getting 0.35 of the price off. Also, your third option wouldn't be correct either, since 0.35 isn't being added on top of the total price.
Your answer is your first option.
Hope this helped you out! :-)

The answer is 6 one half of the lemonade takes it down to 8 cups left and the minus another two.
Well this is simple a calculator type problem...but if you are curious as the the algorithm used by simple calculators and such...
They use a Newtonian approximation until it surpasses the precision level of the calculator or computer program..
A newtonian approximation is an interative process that gets closer and closer to the actual answer to any mathematical problem...it is of the form:
x-(f(x)/(df/dx))
In a square root problem you wish to know:
x=√n where x is the root and n is the number
x^2=n
x^2-n=0
So f(x)=x^2-n and df/dx=2x so using the definition of the newton approximation you have:
x-((x^2-n)/(2x)) which simplifies further to:
(2x^2-x^2+n)/(2x)
(x^2+n)/(2x), where you can choose any starting value of x that you desire (though convergence to an exact (if possible) solution will be swifter the closer xi is to the actual value x)
In this case the number, n=95.54, so a decent starting value for x would be 10.
Using this initial x in (x^2+95.54)/(2x) will result in the following iterative sequence of x.
10, 9.777, 9.774457, 9.7744565, 9.7744565066299210578124802523397
The calculator result for my calc is: 9.7744565066299210578124802523381
So you see how accurate the newton method is in just a few iterations. :P
