conversations.value: A bag was originally priced at $500. A week after, the price was reduced by 5%. Since the bag was still not sold, the selling price was reduced by 4% a month after. How much was the total reduction from the original selling price?

conversations.value: The original price of the bag was reduced by $500 x 5/100 = $25.
  So its selling price after a week was $500 - $25 = $475.
  The price of the bag was again reduced by $475 x 4/100 = $19.
  So, its selling price now is $475 - $19 = $456.
  Therefore, the total reduction from the selling price is $500 - $456 = $44.
