A clothing store offers a 50% discount at the end of each week that an item remains unsold. Patrick wants to buy a shirt at the store and he says, "I've got a great idead! I'll wait two weeks, have 100% off, and get it for free!" Explain why he is incorrect and find the correct percent of dicount on the original price of the shirt.
 
What is the original Price?
What is the price after one week? (multiply by a disciunt factor)
What is the price after two weeks? (multiply by a discount factor)
